Flag Burning Amendment

The vote to propose a Constitutional Amendment against burning the flag failed by one vote (See Article V), 66 to 34. Interestingly enough, three Republicans voted against the resolution:
Robert Bennett (R-UT)
Lincoln Chafee (R-RI)
Mitch McConnell (R-KY)

Any one of them could have voted for the resolution which would have initiated the process of the House of Representatives and then the states considering the amendment. Understand that a two-thirds majority in both houses is required to submit an amendment to the states.

More interesting to me were some of the Democrats who voted for the proposition:

Max Baucus (D-MT)
Evan Bayh (D-IN)
Mark Dayton (D-MN)
Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)
Tim Johnson (D-SD)
Mary Landrieu (D-LA)
Blanche Lincoln (D-AR)
Robert Menendez (D-NJ)
Bill Nelson (D-FL)
Benjamin Nelson (D-NE)
Harry Reid (D-NV)
John Rockefeller (D-WV)
Ken Salazar (D-CO)
Debbie Stabenow (D-MI)

In fact, some were downright surprising.
