Apparently the vote took place at 4 in the morning after an endless meeting. Helena Cobban: Alan Dershowitz, eat your heart out, student senate at U.C. Berkeley voted 16-4 last night to "urge the University of California to divest from companies who have supplied the state of Israel with materials used in alleged war crimes."

    4:00 AM! Reminds me of the delaying tactics used during the 1960′s to get resolutions against the war in Vietnam passed. Hawks hoped to kill the resolutions by delaying the vote until sufficient numbers of supporters were too tired to remain.
