In other news, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is expected to sign a fast-tracked forced ultrasound bill, resulting in the closure of Northern Wisconsin’s only abortion clinic.

Also — Senator Al Franken announced today that he supports releasing court orders approved under FISA (redacted, of course), echoing Google’s sentiment that this would go a long way toward silencing the conspiracy theorists.

I was dismayed to learn that Al Franken came under attack after defending the scope of FISA, because he may be the closest ally (who has the authority and gravitas to get things done) that critics have. He is an exemplary congressmen and a gift to proponents of responsible government, not your enemy.
