I think it would have been much easier for Harry Reid to use his powers as Majority Leader to stop bad FISA legislation from having a shot at passing than asking Democratic supporters to petition the caucus on to do the right thing on our own.
Joshua Wyeth at Lead or Get Out of the Way has much more righteous indignation than I’m going to muster now on the eve of a FISA vote where a degree of unity is needed. But I absolutely feel his outrage on this.
