Both Senator Dianne Feinstein and Senator Barbara Boxer voted "Nay" on S. 3930, the Military Commissions Act of 2006. This bill was drafted in response to the Supreme Court's ruling in Hamdan, and clarifies the conditions for United States military commissions to try enemy combatants who are not soldiers as understood by the Geneva Conventions.
Jonah Goldberg has posted an

UPDATE: Orin Kerr at The Volokh Conspiracy
discusses S. 3930.
