Tonight Senator Chris Dodd spoke on FISA for over two and a half hours and past the 10 pm hour. I’ll have text of his prepared remarks tomorrow morning and I’m trying to track down video now. Of note was his references to blogger Glenn Greenwald in his speech…

John Amato pulls this great line:

Dodd: Personal privacy is protected because it is essential to liberty in the pursuit of happiness. Our Constitution checks the power of government for the purpose of protecting the rights of individuals in order that all our citizens may live in a free and decent society.

Also, McJoan at Daily Kos says in four sentences what took me 2,000 words earlier tonight. Huzzah for brevity!

The procedure for tomorrow is that votes on the outstanding amendments will begin at 10:00. After these votes happen, they’ll have the cloture vote. When Leahy and Dodd say they will filibuster, it means that they will vote against the cloture vote on the bill to continue debate. If they are successful in preventing 60 votes for cloture, the debate can continue for as long as 30 hours. If they fail to prevent cloture, Dodd has four hours reserved for him and his colleagues like Leahy to convince enough fellow Dems to vote against final passage.

…Which proves yet again, there are reasons that Joan is a front-page at Daily Kos and I’m not.
