Via RedState's Moe Lane: Sen. Russ Feingold will not filibuster FISA. As Lane points out, Feingold is a star in the McCain constellation, having co-sponsored the famous, or infamous, Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, otherwise known as McCain-Feingold.


Senator Feingold promises the FISA compromise won't pass quickly, but not that it won't pass. He refers to the surveillance program of the last six years as misstep, and is seeking a commission to assess our surveillance needs, but the former McCain ally won't be filibustering. That's something I file under: Hmm. Interesting.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
