For those interested, I believe the underlying data is from DW-NOMINATE (http://voteview.com/dwnomin.htm).

The data is actually from GovTrack.us, which I suspect is also where DW-NOMINATE gets it. My script for querying GovTrack is on Github: https://github.com/DavidChouinard/congressviz

Very cool!
