THEY'RE WILLING TO OFFER AID AND COMFORT RIGHT UP UNTIL THEY HAVE TO FACE THEIR CONSTITUENTS:
After the FISA Fight: An Interview with Sen. Russ Feingold (Brian Beutler, 7/10/08, The Media Consortium)
Russell Feingold: [T]he problem is that there's this fear, that sort of grows over time, that somehow Democrats are gonna get hit over the head by claims that they're soft on terrorism. And it always rears its head, especially when we're heading into a recess period or an election period.
When they're in the cloakroom they say they'll do what the Lefties want, then they get to the floor and represent the voters...the bastards.... Posted by Orrin Judd at July 10, 2008 4:23 PM
The nutroots fail to note that no other American voter cries over the fate of Khalid Sheik Mohammed.

No, what this is about is laying down the rule that never again may one of the major parties nominate a professed Christian for the Presidency, lest another orgy of oppositional-defiant obstruction and sabotage paralyze the nation.

If Bush's FISA change is so unpopular with the American people, what do the Dems have to fear to vote against it? If the FISA is wrong, the Dems have the responsibility to explain to their constituents and vote their conscience against it.
