It almost makes me want to vote for him. He left his campaign in Iowa today to return to Washington to lead a filibuster against the FISA bill that would grant telecommunications companies immunity for breaking the law when they cooperated with the Bush Administration in spying on Americans. (And we now know this was going on before 9/11.) Inexplicably, Harry Reid was carrying water for the Administration on this bill; one wonders how much money he is taking in from these companies. But in the face of Dodd's threatened filibuster Reid pulled the bill until at least next year.
Glenn Greenwald has all the sorry and happy details. The good guys finally win a round.
