But the Post article also does not delve into the fact that Chris Dodd's filibuster threatened to shine a bright light on how craven the other Democratic presidential hopefuls looked when they chose to stay in Iowa and promote themselves rather than come back to Washington DC and defend the constitution.
(Firedoglake)
Dodd just got a whole lotta points with me for filibustering the Senate bill that would have granted wiretapping imunity, retroactively, to the telcos. The other Democratic candidates should have all taken time off from campaigning to stand against that bill; they would have been back in Iowa plenty soon enough. (And read the link.)
I'm getting plenty sick of Democratic candidates afraid to step on toes. There are toes that need to be downright stomped. Maybe Dodd's the guy to do it after all.
