Action Item

Shaker Sunburned Counsel says in comments:

"Senator Reid is moving the version of the FISA bill that Dick Cheney supports to the Senate floor today, paying no mind to the hold that Senator Dodd has placed on it, and the fact that for all Reid's talk about not providing amnesty to the telecom companies that helped this administration blatantly break the law he is now doing exactly that. (And he's doing it on Friday so as not to arouse as much media coverage.) Please give his office a call and express your feelings on a.) his capitulation to the administration b.) his disregard for Senate procedure in ignoring Dodd's hold c.) his tacit endorsement of warrantless spying of US citizens. The Number to Reid's Washington office is 202-224-3542. It will only take a second or two to give them a call, so please do."
