All three Feingold amendments have been killed by votes of about 90-10 each time. So much for that idea. I'm going to be writing tomorrow about the conference committee. I wouldn't be too optimistic about the prospects there. Face it, folks, Congress is now dysfunctional.* -Declan * Maybe it was before, but it's just so glaringly obvious now.

The Feindgold amendment to S1510 (The Senate Anti-Terrorism Bill), which would have subjected LE requests for personal (medical, educational and library) and business records to a higher level of judicial scrutiny and stricter state provisions, was just tabled (defeated) by a vote of 89 to 8. Our only hope is in the House-Senate committee charged with working out differences between the two bills.
