Chris Dodd's response to Reid - filibuster

an email from the dodd campaign...

Just last night, we heard there are plans to disregard Senator Dodd's intention to place a hold on a FISA bill that includes amnesty for telecommunications companies.

That would be a pretty extraordinary move, but Chris Dodd has pledged to stop this horrible bill any way he can.

So if the hold is not honored, he is prepared to go to the Senate floor and filibuster.

Rolling back the Bush Administration assault on the rule of law has been a major focus of Chris Dodd's work in the Senate -- and it's also a centerpiece in his campaign for President.

this is good, although i think it's unfortunate that it came in the context of a campaign contribution solicitation... i had been wondering if dodd was willing to take the next step and now i know... we saw what happened as a result of his hold announcement and you can be damn sure that a threat to filibuster is going to generate even more of a shitstorm... if dodd is going to stay strong on this, he's going to need steel balls the size of basketballs...
