	Wordwizard Clubhouse - up-or-down vote (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Ilona Nickels, author of the ‘C-Span Congressional Glossary,’ explains: ''A vote on a 'motion to table' is not a vote on an amendment but a vote on whether or not to address it at all.
		That means an up-or-down vote on substance is roughly synonymous with a recorded yea-or-nay vote, a roll-call vote and — also in informal usage — a clean vote.
		It is distinct from a vote on procedure, like a motion to table, to recommit, to amend an amendment or to end debate in a filibuster.

	The Myth of the Up and Down Vote - MacNN Forums
		The issue about an up or down vote is simply an argument that the "advice and consent" of the senate ought to mean the "advice and consent" of ALL of the senate.
		Both got up or down votes, and both were affirmed even though obviously Republicans wouldn't have nominated either and even though both are pro-choice when most Republicans think that Roe is a constitutional abomination.
		But go down this road too many times, and you have the "boy who cried wolf" syndrome, where nobody listens to the minority party anymore because all they do is whine and obstruct.

		These nominees in all likelihood have the support of a majority of the Senate, as they did in the previous Congress or, in a few cases, two previous Congresses.
		Despite this fact, floor votes on the merits of these nominees have never been taken.

	California Shuts Down Vote-Trader Web Site
		California election officials shut down a Web site late yesterday that allowed people to trade their votes over the Internet.
		In the past few days, several sites popped up that were designed to allow supporters of presidential candidates Al Gore and Ralph Nader to trade votes.
		The idea behind vote swapping is that voters in battleground states who would like to vote for Green Party candidate Nader, but are worried that could cost Democrat Gore the overall election, can switch their vote with someone in a state that is already solidly for Gore or Republican candidate George W. Bush.

	An Up-or-Down Vote? — Akrain.org
		IN A WEEK IN which Senate Republicans were expounding the value of "up-or-down votes," it seems odd that some House Republicans decided on Thursday to prevent one, even though it concerned an issue many Republicans have supported in the past.
		Thanks to Rep. Richard W. Pombo (R-Calif.), who objected on procedural grounds, members did not vote on an amendment to the Interior Department spending bill that would have limited taxpayer subsidies for logging operations in Alaska's Tongass National Forest.
		The Senate should take up this amendment this year, and House members should push hard to make sure logging industry subsidies disappear from the final spending bill.

	Sean Hannity Discussion - What Does An "Up Or Down Vote" Really Mean?
		How is an "up or down vote" any different than an "approve or disapprove vote" or a "confirm or not confirm vote"?
		Apparently it means something different to many Repbublicans now, because they weren't to keen on ensuring Clinton's nominees received an up or down vote (they were against it before they were for it).
		I've been trying to think of a smartass remark to make about this statement, however, its just too dumb to wrap my mind around.

		Jonathan conveyed the horrible news that Hezbollah had attacked across the Lebanese border, killing Israeli soldiers, kidnapping two of them, and that Israel's decisive response (including the call up of reserves) heralded the prospect of one more major Middle Eastern war.
		In the same context, ten months ago Israel evacuated every inch of the Gaza Strip-- going so far as the uprooting of well-established Jewish villages to make sure that the tender sensibilities of local Palestinians need not encounter a single Jewish soul.
		The entire concept of "Land for Peace" is the main casualty of this new war.

	Judge John Roberts Deserves Up Or Down Vote In Senate
		The far left, including Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Ted Kennedy (D-MA), and Dick Durbin (D-IL), are scrambling to find ways to attack Judge Roberts or at least stall a full and fair vote in the Senate before October when the Supreme Court session begins.
		Even though the White House has agreed to provide some documents to the Democrats, it won’t satisfy them because the real objective is to wound the President and delay the confirmation hearing.
		The U.S. Senate must vote on confirmation of John Roberts in a fair up or down vote before October!

		Republicans should support an up-or-down vote for the Real ID, aka, the National ID Card.
		I really don't know weather I support the idea of a national ID card yet, but both Democrats and Republicans vowed to take action based on the 911 Commission's report, which included a recommendation for a national ID card.
		This is not a Bush scheme, just the result of a promise to take the recommendations of the 911 commission seriously.
