Sen. Feingold Succeeds, With A Little Help...
When Americans' civil rights are in jeopardy, "the perfect" is, in fact, the enemy of "the good".
In the case of the Patriot Act, the "good" just isn't good enough at keeping the federal government from infringing on our civil liberties.
Kudos to Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI) for understanding this, and kudos to the other 45 Senators that felt the Patriot Act needed serious improvements.
A special thanks to the four Republicans who crossed the aisle and voted against cloture.
Sen. Larry Craig (ID)
Sen. Chuck Hagel (NE)
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (AK)
Sen. John Sununu (NH)
Now, get the job done before you start your vacations...
