Menendez was recently appointed to his seat. He's running for a full term against the son of a very popular former Republican governor. He's also an ass (as is his opponenet). I don't know whether to attribute his vote to cowardice in his campaign or his assitude, which results in him only getting about a 50% ACLU record when he was in the House.
Lautenberg usually has a very good voting record and is probably not running for rewlection. Perhaps he voted as he did so Menenedez could say to the base that even Lautenberg voted that way.
