Senate Democrats temporarily find their spine

Even Dianne Feinstein broke with her Republican masters last night to send the telecom bill to the full Senate without immunity for the telecommunications companies that have illegally spied on Americans. It's clear that Republicans will try to add an amendment restoring such immunity, but Chris Dodd has already stated he will filibuster, thereby requiring Republicans to somehow garner 60 votes to pass it. Dianne Feinstein, despite her vote last night, and Jay Rockefeller, are reliable telecom lackeys, and can be expected to vote with Republicans. Let's see which other Democrats spit on the Constitution when the final bill comes up for a vote.
