Nifty. I go out for lunch, and Senate Democrats make the first step in reclaiming our civil liberties. I’ll be honest, I have very little hope that this will stick: doubtlessly there will be some hopelessly lopsided compromise that renews the Patriot Act and then some, with a symbolic bone thrown to the moderates. But I am so in love with Russ Feingold right now, it’s not even funny.
