Senator Chriss Dodd steps up where COWARDLY Reid fails to: Dodd to FILIBUSTER (hold) Bush's "TELECOM IMMUNITY for VIOLATING FISA laws" bill...

This short list of the ATROCITIES requested by the Bush-Chneney White House: << The Military Commissions Act. Warrantless wiretapping. Shredding of Habeas Corpus. Torture. Extraordinary Rendition. Secret Prisons. >> is posted at Senator Chris Dodd's on-line website. The Senator has vowed to block Bush-Cheney's FISA oversight-gutting TELECOM IMMUNITY bill.

THE OBVIOUS QUESTION IS: "WHERE IS COWARDLY SENATOR HARRY REID? WHY has HE not been able to pust a similar list, in short, concise, understandable English, and FORCED the "major media" TO COVER IT in respectful, honest tones, these past 9 months?

The fact is, that Harry Reid was choosen by his fellow Democratic Senators NOT to be a "LEADER," but because he would be the most unobtrusive, least-likely to step-on-their-perogitives placeholder. And it was NOT Senator Reid and the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee who was responsible for bringing about a Democratic Majority in the Senate: IT WAS OUTSIDER CANDIDATES like CLAIRE McCASKILL and JAMES WEBB who did the Heavy Lifting, EXPOSING the CORRUPTION of the Bush administration that the COWARDLY Demcoratic Senate Leadership REFUSES TO CONFRONT.

The Military Commissions Act. Warrantless wiretapping. Shredding of Habeas Corpus. Torture. Extraordinary Rendition. Secret Prisons.

No more.

I have decided to place a "hold" on the latest FISA bill that would have included amnesty for telecommunications companies that enabled the President's assault on the Constitution by illegally providing personal information on their customers without judicial authorization.

I said that I would do everything I could to stop this bill from passing, and I have.

It's about delivering results -- and as I've said before, the FIRST thing I will do after being sworn into office is restore the Constitution. But we shouldn't have to wait until then to prevent the further erosion of our country's most treasured document. That's why I am stopping this bill today.
