My apologies for the brevity of this diary, but I was supposed to be at a meeting seven minutes ago so am dashing out the door.
There has been much rejoicing in the Netroots over Senator Chris Dodd's announced hold on and potential filibuster of the FISA/wiretapping bill. I, too, greatly appreciate and approve of Senator's Dodd's efforts on this vital Constitutional issue. It is important to note, however, that he is not alone. At this very moment, Dodd's 2008 presidential rival, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Joe Biden, is taking part in a live chat at washingtonpost.com. The following FISA Q&A just transpired.
San Francisco: Will you join Sen. Chris Dodd's hold and proposed filibuster on any FISA bill that includes retroactive immunity for telecoms? ...
Sen. Joe Biden: Yes.
