Joe Lieberman From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Joe lieberman) Jump to: navigation, search
Joseph Isadore "Joe" Lieberman (born
February 24, 1942) is the senior United States Senator from Connecticut.
A former member of the Democratic Party, he was the
party's nominee for Vice President in the 2000
election. Currently an independent, he remains closely affiliated with the
party. Born in Stamford, Connecticut, Lieberman is a
graduate of Yale University and Yale
Law School. He was elected as a "reform Democrat" in 1970 to
the Connecticut Senate, where he served three
terms as Majority Leader. After an unsuccessful bid for the U.S. House of Representatives
in 1980, he served as state Attorney
General from 1983 to 1989. Lieberman defeated moderate Republican Lowell Weicker in 1988 to win election to
the United States Senate and was re-elected in
1994 and 2000. In the 2000 United States
presidential election, Lieberman was the Democratic nominee for Vice
President, running with presidential nominee Al Gore,
becoming the first Jewish candidate on a major
American political party presidential ticket.[2]
He was an unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination
in the 2004 presidential election. During his re-election bid in 2006, he lost the Democratic
Party primary election but won re-election in the general election as a third party candidate under the party
label "Connecticut for Lieberman". Lieberman
himself is not a member of the Connecticut for Lieberman party; he is
a registered Democrat.[3] Lieberman was officially listed in Senate records for the 110th and 111th Congresses as an "Independent Democrat"[4]
and sits as part of the Senate Democratic Caucus. But since his speech at the 2008 Republican
National Convention in which he endorsed John
McCain for president, Lieberman no longer attends Democratic Caucus
leadership strategy meetings or policy lunches.[5]
On November 5, 2008, Lieberman met with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
to discuss his future role with the Democratic Party. Ultimately, the Senate Democratic Caucus voted to allow
Lieberman to keep chairmanship of the Senate
Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. Subsequently,
Lieberman announced that he will continue to caucus with the Democrats.[6]
Lieberman announced in January 2011 that he will not seek re-election in
2012.[7]
[edit] Early life Lieberman was born in Stamford, Connecticut, the son of Marcia
(née Manger) and Henry Lieberman. His paternal grandparents emigrated
from Poland
and his maternal grandparents were from Austria.[8]
He received an A.B. in both political science and economics
from Yale University in 1964 and was the first member
of his family to graduate from college. At Yale he was editor of the Yale
Daily News and a member of the Elihu Club. He later attended Yale
Law School, receiving his law degree in 1967. After graduation from law
school, Lieberman worked as a lawyer for the New Haven-based
law firm Wiggin & Dana LLP. A spokesperson told The Hartford Courant in 1994 that
Lieberman received an educational deferment from the Vietnam
War draft when he was an undergraduate and law student
from 1960 to 1967. Upon graduating from law school at age 25, Lieberman
qualified for a family deferment because he was already married and had one
child, Matt.[9] [edit] Personal life Lieberman met his first wife, Betty Haas, at the congressional office of
Senator Abraham Ribicoff (D-CT), where they worked as
summer student interns. They married in 1965 while Joe Lieberman was in law
school. They had two children – Matt and Rebecca. Betty, who is also
Jewish, later worked as a psychiatric social
worker. In 1981, the couple divorced. When asked about the divorce in an
interview with New York Magazine, Lieberman said,
"one of the differences we had was in levels of religious
observance," adding, "I'm convinced if that was the only
difference, we wouldn't have gotten divorced."[10] In 1982, he met his second wife, Hadassah Freilich Tucker, while he was running
for Attorney General of Connecticut.
Hadassah Lieberman is the child of a Holocaust survivor. According to Washington
Jewish Week, Lieberman called her for a date because he thought it would
be interesting to go out with someone named Hadassah. (Hadassah is
the name of the Women's Zionist Organization of
America).[11]
Since March 2005, Hadassah Lieberman has worked for Hill
& Knowlton, a lobbying firm based in New York City, as a senior
counselor in its health and pharmaceuticals practice. She has held senior
positions at the Hospital of Saint Raphael in New Haven,
the American Committee for Shaare Zedek
Medical Center in Jerusalem, Association
of Public-Safety Communications Officials-International (APCO), Pfizer, National Research Council,
Hoffmann-La Roche, and Lehman
Brothers.[12] Joe and Hadassah Lieberman have a daughter, Hani. Lieberman also has a stepson from Hadassah's previous marriage, Ethan Tucker. Matt Lieberman graduated from Yale University in 1989, and from Yale Law School in 1994. He is former Head of School of Greenfield Hebrew Academy in Atlanta, GA. Rebecca Lieberman graduated from Barnard College in 1991, and from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1997. She is married to Jacob Wisse. Ethan Tucker, son of Gordon Tucker, graduated from Harvard College in 1997 and received his rabbinic ordination from the Chief Rabbinate of Israel. Lieberman is also related to Disney Channel star Raviv Ullman of Phil of the Future.[13]
Lieberman with Marty
Markowitz at the 2011 Brooklyn Book Festival to discuss the role
spirituality played in his life. Lieberman describes himself as an "observant" Jew.[1]
In 1965 he married Betty Haas, a Reform Jew.
Since the death in 1967 of Lieberman's grandmother, a deeply religious
immigrant, he found renewed interest in religious observance. His second
wife, Hadassah, is also an observant Modern Orthodox Jew. "Hadassah calls
herself my right wing," says Lieberman.[10]
In Lieberman's 1988 upset of Republican Party incumbent
Senator Lowell Weicker, his religious observance was
mostly viewed in terms of inability to campaign on Shabbat. This
changed when Gore chose Lieberman as the running mate; a Lieberman press officer
who spoke on condition of anonymity said: "He
refers to himself as observant, as opposed to Orthodox, because he doesn't
follow the strict Orthodox code and doesn't want to offend the Orthodox, and
his wife feels the same way."[14] The Liebermans keep a kosher home and observe Shabbat.[14] Lieberman has said that there is currently "a constitutional place
for faith in our public life", and that the Constitution does not
provide for "freedom from religion."[15]
He attends Kesher Israel Congregation in Georgetown, Washington, D.C. and
Beth Hamedrosh Hagodol – B'nai Israel, The Westville Synagogue, New Haven, Connecticut. He also attends Congregation
Agudath Sholom in Stamford. He was the first observant Jew to run on a major party Presidential
ticket. (1964 Presidential candidate Barry
Goldwater's father was Jewish, but Sen. Goldwater's mother was an Episcopalian,
and the Senator practiced his mother's faith.) [edit] Early political career Lieberman was elected as a "reform Democrat" to the Connecticut Senate in 1970, where he served
for 10 years, including the last six as Majority Leader. He suffered his
first defeat in Connecticut elections in the Reagan
landslide year of 1980, losing the race for the Third District Congressional
seat to Republican Lawrence Joseph DeNardis, a state
senator from suburban Hamden with whom he had worked closely on
bipartisan legislative efforts. In 1981 he wrote an admiring biography of
long-time Connecticut and national Democratic leader John Moran Bailey, reviewing also in the book
the previous 50 years of Connecticut political history.[16]
From 1983 to 1989, he served as Connecticut Attorney
General.[17]
In the 1986 general election, Lieberman won more votes than any other
Democrat on the statewide ticket, including Governor William O'Neill.[18]
As Attorney General, Lieberman emphasized consumer protection and
environmental enforcement. [edit] U.S. Senate [edit] Tenure In 1988, Lieberman defeated moderate Republican Lowell Weicker to win election to the United States Senate and was re-elected in
1994 and 2000. Like Bill Clinton and Dick
Gephardt, Lieberman served as chair of the Democratic Leadership Council. Lieberman was first elected to the United States Senate as a Democrat in the 1988 election, by a margin of
10,000 votes. He scored the nation's biggest political upset that year, after
being backed by a coalition of Democrats and unaffiliated voters with support
from conservative Republicans, who were
disappointed in three-term Republican incumbent Lowell Weicker's moderate
voting record and personal style. During the campaign, he received support
from the Connecticut's Cuban-American community which was unhappy with
Weicker. Lieberman has since remained firmly anti-Castro.[19]
Six years later, Lieberman made history by winning by the largest landslide
ever in a Connecticut Senate race, drawing 67 percent of the vote and beating
his opponent by more than 350,000 votes. In 1998, Lieberman was the first prominent Democrat to publicly challenge
Bill
Clinton for the judgment exercised in his affair
with Monica Lewinsky.[20]
However, he voted against removing Clinton from office by impeachment. In
2000, while concurrently running for the vice presidency, Lieberman was elected to a third Senate term
with 64 percent of the vote easily defeating the Republican Philip
Giordano. When control of the Senate switched from Republicans to Democrats in June
2001, Lieberman became Chairman of the Homeland
Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, with oversight
responsibilities for a broad range of government activities. He was also a
member of the Environment
and Public Works Committee and chair of its Subcommittee
Clean Air, Wetlands and Private Property; the Armed Services
Committee, where he chaired the Airland
Subcommittee and sat on the Subcommittee
on Emerging Threats and Capabilities; and the Small
Business Committee. When Republicans gained control of the Senate in
January 2003, Lieberman resumed his role as ranking minority member of the
committees he had once chaired.[21] File:Obama
McCain Lieberman Kennedy 2006.jpg Lieberman along with his Senate colleagues Ted
Kennedy, and future presidential rivals Barack
Obama and John McCain, 2006 In the 110th Congress, Lieberman is Chairman of the Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs Committee, which is responsible for assuring the
efficiency and effectiveness of the Federal Government. In addition, he is a
member of the Environment and Public Works Committee; Senate Armed Services
Committee, where he is Chairman of the Subcommittee on Air Land Forces and
sits on the Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities; and the Small
Business Committee. [edit] Fundraising Since 1989, Lieberman has received more than $31.4 million in campaign
donations from specific industries and sectors. His largest donors have
represented the securities and investment ($3.7 million), legal ($3.6
million), real estate ($3.1 million) and health professional ($1.1 million)
industries.[22] [edit] Committee assignments o Subcommittee

article: Electoral history of Joe Lieberman [edit] Presidential politics [edit] 2000 VP campaign
Gore/Lieberman 2000 campaign logo In August 2000, Lieberman was selected as the nominee for Vice President
of the United States by Al Gore, the Democratic Party nominee for President.
Lieberman was the first Jewish candidate on a major political party ticket.
The announcement of Lieberman's selection was unusual in that it did not
cause a positive "bump" in the Gore campaign's poll numbers according
to a Newsweek
poll done at the time.[25]
Polling also indicated that Lieberman had badly lost his televised debate against
Dick
Cheney,[26]
leading some to suggest later that Gore had lost the election due to choosing
Lieberman as his running mate.[27] The Gore/Lieberman ticket won a plurality of the popular
vote, with over half a million more votes than the Republican ticket of George
W. Bush and Dick Cheney, but they were defeated in the Electoral College by a vote of
271 to 266 after an intense legal battle concerning the outcome in disputed
counties (see Bush vs Gore). Like Democratic VP candidates Lyndon B. Johnson in 1960, Lloyd
Bentsen in 1988, John Edwards in 2004, and Joe Biden
in 2008, Lieberman's Senate term was due to expire during the election cycle.
He decided to run for reelection to maintain his seat, as Johnson, Bentsen and
Biden did. All four won, but since Johnson and Biden were also elected
Vice-President, they gave up their seats. [edit] 2004 primaries On January 13, 2003, Lieberman announced his intention to seek the Democratic
nomination as a candidate in the 2004 presidential election. Describing his Presidential hopes, Lieberman opined that his historically
hawkish
stance would appeal to voters. Indeed he initially led in polls of primaries,
but due to his political positions he failed to win a support of liberal Democratic voters, who
dominated the primaries.[28] Prior to his defeat in New
Hampshire, Lieberman famously declared his campaign was picking up
"Joementum"; however, he failed to provide such momentum during the
New Hampshire primary debates, held at Saint Anselm College days before the
primary.[29]
On February 3, 2004, Lieberman withdrew his candidacy after failing to win
any of the five primaries or two caucuses held that day. He acknowledged to
the Hartford Courant that his support for the
war in Iraq was a large part of his undoing with voters.[30] Lieberman's former running candidate Al Gore did not support Lieberman's
Presidential run, and in December 2003 endorsed Howard
Dean's candidacy, saying "This is about all of us and all of us need
to get behind the strongest candidate [Dean]."[31] Finally Lieberman withdrew from the race without winning a single
contest. In total popular vote he placed 7th behind eventual nominee, Massachusetts
senator John
Kerry, future Vice Presidential nominee, North
Carolina Senator John Edwards, former Governor of Vermont Howard
Dean, Ohio Representative
Dennis
Kucinich, retired General Wesley
Clark and Reverend Al Sharpton.[32] [edit] 2008 activism Further
information: United States presidential
election, 2008
Lieberman with Presidential Candidate John
McCain at an event in Derry, New Hampshire On December 17, 2007, Lieberman endorsed Republican Senator John
McCain for president in 2008,[33]
contradicting his stance in July 2006 where he stated "I want Democrats to
be back in the majority in Washington and elect a Democratic president in
2008."[34]
Lieberman cited his agreement with McCain's stance on the War
on Terrorism as the primary reason for the endorsement.[35] On June 5, Lieberman launched "Citizens for McCain," hosted on
the McCain campaign website, to recruit Democratic support for John McCain's
candidacy. He emphasized the group's outreach to supporters of Hillary
Clinton, who was at that time broadly expected to lose the Democratic
presidential nomination to Barack Obama.[36]
Citizens for McCain was prominently featured in
McCain team efforts to attract disgruntled Hillary Clinton supporters such as
Debra Bartoshevich.[37][38] Lieberman spoke at the 2008 Republican National
Convention on behalf of McCain and his running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah
Palin.[39]
Lieberman was alongside McCain and Senator Lindsey
Graham during a visit to French president Nicolas
Sarkozy on March 21, 2008.[40]
Lieberman was mentioned as a possible Vice Presidential nominee on a McCain
ticket,[41][42]
although Lieberman had denied interest.[43]
ABC News
reported that Lieberman was McCain's first choice for Vice President until
several days before the selection, when McCain had decided that picking
Lieberman would alienate the conservative base of the Republican Party.[44][45]
Lieberman had been mentioned as a possible Secretary of State under a
McCain administration.[46] Many Democrats wanted Lieberman to be stripped of his chairmanship of the
Senate
Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs due to his support
for John McCain.[47]
Republican Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell reached out to Lieberman, asking him to caucus with the
Republicans.[48]
Ultimately, the Senate Democratic Caucus voted 42 to 13
to allow Lieberman to keep chairmanship (although he did lose his membership
for the Environment
and Public Works Committee). Subsequently, Lieberman announced that he
will continue to caucus with the Democrats.[6]
Lieberman credited President-elect Barack
Obama for helping him keep his chairmanship. Obama had privately urged
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
not to remove Lieberman from his position. Reid stated that Lieberman's
criticism of Obama during the election angered him, but that "if you
look at the problems we face as a nation, is this a time we walk out of here
saying, 'Boy did we get even'?" Senator Tom Carper
of Delaware
also credited the Democrats' decision on Lieberman to Obama's support,
stating that "If Barack can move on, so can we."[49][50] Liberal members of the Democratic caucus were reportedly angry at the
decision to not punish Lieberman more severely. Senator Bernie
Sanders of Vermont
(who is also an Independent who caucuses with the Democrats) stated that he
voted against Lieberman "because while millions of people worked hard
for Obama, Lieberman actively worked for four more years of President Bush's
policies."[50] Lieberman's embrace of certain conservative policies and in particular
his endorsement of John McCain have been cited as factors for his high
approval rating among Republicans in Connecticut with 66% of Republicans
approving of him along with 52% of independents also approving of his job
performance, this however is also cited for his low approval rating among
Democrats: 44% approving and 46% disapproving.[51]
Currentlly 51% of voters approve of his performance along with 40%
disapproving.[52] [edit] 2006 Senate election [edit] Primary Main
article: Democratic
Party primary, Connecticut United States Senate election, 2006
Lieberman sought the Democratic Party's renomination for U.S. Senate from
Connecticut in 2006 but lost to Ned Lamont,
a Greenwich
businessman and antiwar candidate. Lieberman was officially endorsed by the Connecticut Democratic
Convention, which met in May. However, Lamont received 33 percent of the
delegates' votes, forcing an August primary. In July, Lieberman announced that he would file papers to appear on the
November ballot should he lose the primary, stating, "I'm a loyal
Democrat, but I have loyalties that are greater than those to my party, and
that's my loyalty to my state and my country."[54]
He stated that he would continue to sit as a Democrat in the Senate even if
he was defeated in the primary and elected on an unaffiliated line, and expressed
concern for a potentially low turnout.[55]
On July 10, the Lieberman campaign officially filed paperwork allowing him to
collect signatures for the newly formed Connecticut for Lieberman party ballot
line.[56]
On August 8, 2006, Lieberman conceded the Democratic primary election to
Ned Lamont, saying, "For the sake of our state, our country and my
party, I cannot and will not let that result stand," and announced he
would run in the 2006 November
election as an independent candidate on the Connecticut for Lieberman ticket,
against both Lamont and the Republican candidate, Alan
Schlesinger.[57] [edit] General election Main
article: Connecticut United
States Senate election, 2006
Lieberman during his re-election campaign on a third
party ticket Polls after the primary showed Lieberman ahead of Ned Lamont
by 5 points.[citation needed] Later polls showed
Lieberman leading by varying margins.[citation needed] Alan
Schlesinger barely registered support[citation needed] and his
campaign had run into problems based on alleged gambling debts. Thus,
"Lieberman was able to run in the general election as the de facto
Republican candidate – every major Republican office-holder in the
state endorsed him – and to supplement that GOP base with strong
support from independents."[58] On August 9, 2006, Hillary Clinton affirmed her pledge to support
the primary winner, saying "voters of Connecticut have made their decision
and I think that decision should be respected",[59]
and Howard
Dean called for Lieberman to quit the race, saying he was being
"disrespectful of Democrats and disrespectful of the Democratic
Party".[60] On August 10, in his first campaign appearance since losing the Democratic
primary, referencing the 2006 transatlantic aircraft plot,
Lieberman criticized Lamont, saying:[61] “If
we just pick up like Ned Lamont wants us to do, get out [of Iraq] by a date
certain, it will be taken as a tremendous victory by the same people who
wanted to blow up these planes in this plot hatched in England. It will
strengthen them and they will strike again.”
On August 17, 2006 the National Republican Senatorial
Committee stated that they would favor a Lieberman victory in the
November election over Democratic nominee Ned Lamont. The NRSC did state,
however, that they were not going so far as to actually support Lieberman.[62] Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani praised Lieberman at a South
Carolina campaign stop on August 18, saying he was "a really
exceptional senator."[63]
Other Republican supporters of Lieberman included Mayor of New York City Michael Bloomberg, former Representative and
Republican Vice Presidential candidate Jack Kemp,
former Speaker of the
House Newt Gingrich and Senator Susan
Collins of Maine.[citation needed] Five Democratic Senators maintained their support for Lieberman, and
Lieberman also received the strong support of former Senator and Democratic
stalwart Bob
Kerrey, who offered to stump for him.[64]
Democratic minority leader Harry Reid, while endorsing Lamont, promised
Lieberman that he would retain his committee positions and seniority if he
prevailed in the general election. On August 28, Lieberman campaigned at the same motorcycle rally as
Republican Congressman Christopher Shays.[citation needed]
Shays told a crowd of motorcycle enthusiasts, "We have a national
treasure in Joe Lieberman." Mel
Sembler, a former Republican National Committee
finance chairman, helped organize a reception that raised a "couple
hundred thousand dollars" for Lieberman, who was personally in
attendance. Sembler is a prominent Republican who chaired I.
Lewis 'Scooter' Libby's legal defense fund.[65]
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg held a fundraiser for
Lieberman at his home in November, co-hosted by former mayor Ed Koch and
former Senator Alfonse M. D'Amato.[66]
Koch called Lieberman "one of the greatest Senators we've ever had in
the Senate."[67] Despite still considering himself a Democrat, Lieberman was endorsed by
numerous Republicans who actively spoke out in favor of his candidacy.
Lieberman was also the focus of websites such as
ConservativesforLieberman06.com.[68] On November 7, Lieberman won re-election with 49.7% of the vote. Ned Lamont
garnered 40% of ballots cast and Alan
Schlesinger won 10%.[69]
Lieberman received support from 33% of Democrats, 54% of independents and 70%
of Republicans.[70] Following the election, Lieberman struck a deal with Democratic
leadership allowing him to keep his seniority and chairmanship of the
Governmental Affairs Committee. In return, he agreed to vote with the Democrats
on all procedural matters unless he asked permission of Majority Whip Richard
Durbin.[citation needed] He is free
to vote as he pleases on policy matters.[citation needed] Along with Bernie
Sanders, Lieberman's caucusing with the Democrats gave them a 51–49
majority in the Senate, leaving a slim one Senator majority to control the
Senate in the 110th Congress. [edit] Criticism While he officially considers himself a member of the Democratic party,
Lieberman has been accused of being more conservative than many Republicans.
His own party refused to nominate him as a candidate in the 2006 election, so
he ran as an independent candidate to retain his senate seat. In February
2007, Lieberman spoke before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
in support of the confirmation of Sam Fox as
ambassador to Belgium.
Fox, a prominent Republican businessman and political donor, was a
contributor to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth
campaign in 2004.[71]
Fox is also reported to have donated to Lieberman's 2006 Senate campaign.[72]
Critics claim Lieberman was a favorite of Fox News ,
since he was willing to go on the conservative channel and play the role of
someone in the “opposition” party who criticised fellow
Democrats. Lieberman was a supporter of the Iraq War and has urged action against
Iran. In July 2008, Lieberman spoke at the annual conference of Christians United for Israel (CUFI)
then later, in July 2009, accepted from John Hagee CUFI's "Defender of
Israel Award".[73]
Pastor Hagee,
CUFI's founder and leader, has made a number of controversial remarks,
including a statement that the Catholic Church is "the great whore"
and a suggestion that God sent Adolf
Hitler to bring the Jews to Israel.[74] In May 2010, while favoring the filibuster
and threatening to use it in 2009 to eliminate a public health option as part
of the healthcare proposal, Lieberman once strongly opposed it. In 1995, he
joined with Senator Tom Harkin to co-sponsor an amendment to kill the
filibuster. “The filibuster hurts the credibility of the entire Senate
and impedes progress,” Lieberman told the Hartford
Courant (Jan 6, 1995).[75] In April 2010, Lieberman blasted President Obama for stripping terms like
"Islamic extremism" from a key national security document, calling
the move dishonest, wrong-headed and disrespectful to the majority of Muslims
who are not terrorists.[76] Lieberman has favoured greater use of surveillance cameras by the federal
government and referred to attempts by Congress to investigate illegal
wire-tapping as "partisan gridlock". On June 19, 2010, Lieberman
introduced a bill called "Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act
of 2010",[77]
which he co-wrote with Senator Susan
Collins (R-ME) and Senator Thomas
Carper (D-DE). If signed into law, this controversial bill, which the
American media dubbed the "Kill switch bill", would grant the President emergency powers over
the Internet. However, all three co-authors of the bill issued a statement
claiming that instead, the bill "[narrowed]
existing broad Presidential authority to take over telecommunications
networks".[78]
American computer security specialist and author Bruce
Schneier objected to the "kill switch" proposal on the basis
that it rests on several faulty assumptions and that it's "too coarse a
hammer". Schneier wrote: Defending his proposal, Sen. Lieberman pointed out that China has
this capability. It's debatable whether or not it actually does, but it's
actively pursuing the capability because the country cares less about its citizens.
Here in the U.S., it is both wrong and dangerous to give the president the
power and ability to commit Internet suicide and terrorize Americans in this
way.[79] Sen. Lieberman has been a major opponent of the whistle-blowing
website WikiLeaks.
His staff "made inquiries"[80]
of Amazon.com
and other internet companies such as Paypal, Visa, and
Mastercard
which resulted in them suspending service to WikiLeaks. Blogger Glenn
Greenwald called Lieberman's actions "one of the most pernicious
acts by a U.S. Senator in quite some time," and accused Lieberman of
"emulat[ing]
Chinese dictators" by "abusing his position as Homeland
Security Chairman to thuggishly dictate to private companies which
websites they should and should not host—and, more important, what you
can and cannot read on the Internet."[81]
Lieberman has also suggested that "the New
York Times and other news organisations publishing the US embassy
cables being released by WikiLeaks could be investigated for breaking US espionage laws."[82] Along with Senators John Ensign and Scott
Brown, Lieberman "introduced a bill to amend the Espionage Act in order to facilitate the
prosecution of folks like Wikileaks."[83]
Critics have noted that "[l]eaking [classified] information in the first
place is already a crime, so the measure is aimed squarely at
publishers," and that "Lieberman’s proposed solution to
WikiLeaks could have implications for journalists reporting on some of the
more unsavory practices of the intelligence community."[84]
Legal analyst Benjamin Wittes has called the proposed
legislation "the worst of both worlds," saying: "It leaves intact the current World War
I-era Espionage Act provision, 18 U.S.C. 793(e),
a law [with] many problems . . . and then takes a currently well-drawn law
and expands its scope to the point that it covers a lot more than the most
reckless of media excesses. A lot of good journalism would be a crime under
this provision; after all, knowingly and willfully publishing material
'concerning the human intelligence activities of the United States or any
foreign government' is no small part of what a good newspaper does."[83] As a result of these statements and actions, Lieberman has been perceived
as an opponent of Internet Free Speech and become the target of Anonymous attacks under Operation Payback.[85] [edit] Political positions Main
article: Political positions of Joe
Lieberman Lieberman is one of the Senate's strongest advocates for continued
prosecution of the war in Iraq. He is also an outspoken supporter of the
U.S.-Israel
relationship. On domestic issues, he strongly supports free trade
economics while reliably voting for pro-trade
union legislation. He has also opposed filibustering Republican judicial
appointments. With Lynne Cheney and others, Lieberman co-founded American Council of Trustees
and Alumni in 1995. Lieberman is a supporter of abortion
rights and of the rights of gays and lesbians to adopt
children, to be protected with hatecrime legislation, and to serve openly in the
military.[86]
Lieberman is one of the Senate's leading opponents of violence in video games
and on television. Lieberman describes himself as being "genuinely an
Independent," saying "I agree more often than not with Democrats on
domestic
policy. I agree more often than not with Republicans on foreign
and defense policy."[87]
Senator Lieberman is also famous for championing, authoring and leading the
effort that led to the repeal of Don't ask don't tell. Senator Lieberman was an integral part in attempting to stop WikiLeaks
from publishing further material using US-based corporations in the United States diplomatic cables
leak of 2010.[88] [edit]
Sponsorship of Enemy Expatriation Act In January 2012, Lieberman co-sponsored the Enemy Expatriation Act with Congressman Charles
Dent (R-PA). The proposal would allow the United States government to
strip U.S. citizens of their citizenship without requiring that the citizen
have been convicted of any crime.[89] [edit] Published works Lieberman is the author of seven books: The Power Broker (1966), a
biography of the late Democratic Party chairman, John M. Bailey; The Scorpion and the
Tarantula (1970), a study of early efforts to control nuclear proliferation; The Legacy
(1981), a history of Connecticut politics from 1930 to 1980; Child
Support in America (1986), a guidebook on methods to increase the
collection of child support from delinquent fathers; In Praise
of Public Life (2000); An Amazing Adventure (2003), reflecting on
his 2000 vice presidential run; and The Gift of Rest: Rediscovering the
Beauty of the Sabbath (2011), written with David Klinghoffer. [edit] See also ·
