Civil liberties

Alea Iacta Est

WASHINGTON - Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold will not filibuster a compromise version of an electronic surveillance program although he thinks it will infringe on U.S. citizens' civil liberties.

Feingold said he and other Senate opponents won't try to stop the vote, but they "won't allow it to pass quickly."

This resonates much more than Senator Obama's remarks from Friday. And it leads me to believe that there's much more to this bill than meets the eye.
