Minnesota's Congressional delegation voted down party lines on a vote to admonish GOP Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina. Wilson shouted "You lie" during President Obama's health care speech to Congress last week. The House passed the resolution of disapproval 240-179.

DFL Rep. Tim Walz, DFL Rep. Betty McCollum, DFL Rep. Keith Ellison, DFL Rep. Collin Peterson and DFL Rep. Jim Oberstar voted for the measure.

GOP Rep. John Kline, GOP Rep. Erik Paulsen and GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann voted against the measure.

Here's the Roll Call.
