| said by KrK  :I'll bet he got a lot of P.O'ed calls and emails, and that lead him to do this.... I'm telling ya, they're going to wait till the last second and then say they had to vote for it because FISA would sunset. They'll have the upper hand. They'll be able to say that the vocal self-described freedom fighters have nothing to complain about they supposedly(?) want greater oversight and safety from overreaching government. That's what the amendments would do. If FISA sunsets there would be no oversight. "So, how can those in favor of greater oversight complain?"
That's how it will go down. The politicians don't see it as imminently serious as you do. Even Dodd is just playing a part in a well-choreographed play. In the end almost everyone can say they voted against it, and for it.
I saw this in the early 90s with the so-called Assault Weapon ban. A friend of mine wrote Senator McCain urging him to vote against it. McCain replied that he opposed the ban. My friend's mother wrote McCain urging him to support the AW ban. She received a reply outlining McCain's support for gun control.
