Apparently several senators from that earlier list decided that flip-flopping was the better part of discretion on the anti-lynching bill. They’ve decided to “co-sponsor” it after the fact, which is perfectly legitimate inside the Beltway, where everything is weird anyway.

Here’s the new list. You can cross-reference against the previous one to see who decided to change their minds:

Lamar Alexander (R-TN)
Robert Bennett (R-UT)
Thad Cochran (R-MS)
John Cornyn (R-TX)
Michael Crapo (R-ID)
Michael Enzi (R-WY)
Chuck Grassley (R-IA)
Judd Gregg (R-NH)
Orrin Hatch (R-UT)
Trent Lott (R-MS)
Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
Richard Shelby (R-AL)
John Sununu (R-NH)
Craig Thomas (R-WY)
George Voinovich (R-OH)

Note that the new list is entirely Republican.
