BooMan's rundown on what's going on with Dodd, Reid and the filibuster threat

he's got a pretty concise, quite understandable and probably reasonably accurate summary of the dodd/reid/senate/hold/filibuster/fisa backstory to which i was prompted to offer this comment...
i have been waiting for a confrontation to blow the constitutional crisis out into the open... i had hoped the dems would summon the cojones to proceed with inherent contempt charges in light of the white house flipping off congressional subpoenas, but, for the congressional dem leadership, who have evidently submitted to voluntary neutering and spaying, that is not to be... too bad it has to come in the form of in intra-party battle, but so be it... one way or another, we are way, WAY overdue in facing up to the most serious crisis that has ever faced our democratic republic...
