Estate tax[edit]
On several occasions, Nelson has voted to reduce or eliminate the estate tax,[45] notably in June 2006, when he was one of four Democrats voting for a failed (5741) cloture motion on a bill to eliminate the tax.[46]
Withholding funding from the CIA[edit]
In 2007, Nelson was the only Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee to vote against an amendment to withhold funds for CIA use of enhanced interrogation techniques on terrorism suspects. His vote, combined with those of all Republican members of the committee, killed the measure.[47]
