FILIBUSTER!

Chris Dodd is standing up for the rule of law today and is going to filibuster the bill giving telecom companies immunity in illegal wiretapping. He is looking for questions to address during his time on the floor, and you can help by going here and submitting some.

It's pretty sad that the Republicans don't actually have to filibuster bills they oppose - instead Harry Reid let's them die without a fight, but when a Democrat opposes a bill he has to go through the entire ordeal of a filibuster. I guess that shows which side of the aisle Harry Reid really sits with.
