This is the bill about which the NY Times' front page headline yesterday screamed:

House Democrats' Security bill Draws Doubt, Even Inside the Party

It passed 299 to 128 with 68 Republicans breaking ranks to vote for the Dems' bill:

A House bill (H. Res. 1) to implement recommendations suggested by the September 11th Commission passed by a vote of 299 to 128, with eight members of Congress not voting.

Just after 7:15 PM Eastern, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that the bill had passed, and gaveled the end of the vote. Joining 231 Democrats were 68 Republican members of Congress.

House Republican Leadership had urged a no vote to the legislation, reasoning that it had not been considered with appropriate hearings by House committees, and amendments on the House floor were not permitted.

May all the Dems' bills draw such doubts -- even within the party.
