1994, Senator Sanders voted to
expanded the death penalty but also decreased the minimum age for minors to be tried as adults
Sanders voted for Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act calling for expanding the application of the death penalty
Sanders voted against a bill that would have “demilitarized” the police. The Local Government Law Enforcement Block Grants Act
Sanders voted against the Brady Bill that mandated a seven-day waiting period for background checks for gun purchases.
Senate decreased the waiting period to five days and the bill returned to the House. Sanders voted against that version as well.
Sanders said he "helped write" the Affordable Care Act. He deserves credit for one provision of it. He was hardly an inside crafter of the bill. Until his effort was blocked by a GOP procedural move, Sanders supported a more aggressive single-payer system, and multiple news articles quoted him as being undecided about supporting the main Democratic bill until late in the process.
Senator Sanders voted to appoint Senator
Clinton for the position of Secretary of State.
In presidential debates he has questioned her judgement by voting for the Iraq war. Why then did he vote for her as Sec. of State? Did he question her judgement? Did he show that he has inconsistent judgement?
Sanders voted for House Resolution 921, which gave full support to Israel's war on Lebanon.
Sanders voted for HR 4681 that imposed sanctions on the Palestinian Authority with the aim of removing the democratically elected Hamas government.
Agree with Bernie, or he will tell you to "SHUT UP"
Senator Sanders was asked to respond to his vote seen as defending child molesters and voting against Amber Alerts. He shows questionable judgement in his vote, and in how he gets hostile.
