The article focuses on the votes made by U.S. legislators on non-binding measures designed to allow members to record their stance on key issues. The Congress passed a resolution that mandates disclosure of earmarks' sponsors in budget bills on September 14, 2006. The Senate invoked cloture on the confirmation of Samuel A. Alito Jr. as an associate justice of the Supreme Court. The Congress voted 270-150 in favor of the establishment of military tribunals bill.
