In November2009, XXXX voted against tabling a measure by James M. Inhofe, R-Okla., that would have prohibited funding to build facilities in the United States to hold detainees from the Guantanamo detention center. “It would prohibit the Obama administration from upgrading security at any facility in the United States where a Guantanamo detainee would be held,” said Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin, D-Ill. “That is unwise and unprecedented.
