They will be called The Nazgul:
1. Wayne Allard, Colorado
2. Kit Bond, Missouri
3. Tom Coburn, Oklahoma
4. Thad Cochran, Mississippi
5. John Cornyn, Texas
6. James Inhofe, Oklahoma
7. Pat Roberts, Kansas
8. Jeff Sessions, Alabama
9. Ted Stevens, Alaska
These nine senators (all Republicans) voted against the McCain ammendment banning torture of prisoners.
"...they entered into the realm of shadows. The Nazgul were they, the Ringwraiths, the Enemy's most terrible servants; darkness went with them, and they cried with the voices of death."
From The Silmarillion: "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age"

In the amendment vote, I am ashamed of the idiots we voted for and I am almost ashamed of being an Oklahoman, although I know their views (and therefore votes) are not standard for the state.
Oddly enough, why is it that most of the states voting against the amendment are Southern? Hmm...
