Three headlines in my RSS from the Hill.
New FISA Bill Won't Get Past the President (Sen. Sam Brownback)
FISA Bill Wouldn't Drastically Expand Legal Capability (Sen. Jeff Sessions)
FISA Not an Issue to Play Around With (Rep. Orrin Hatch)
That's just the beginning. According to Jane-
The Democrats are now lined up to block cloture on the very bill they were ready to pass yesterday. George Bush will publicly humiliate them for it in the SOTU, and with the Protect America Act ready to sunset on Friday February 1st, the Democrats will either find a way to extend it for another 30 days or give the Republicans everything they want anyway out of fear of being called soft on terrah.
I predict it's going to get ugly, and so far the Democrats haven't had the voice (or cojones) to get their side out on this. Where are Barack and Hillary? Why aren't they talking about this, even yelling about this at every campaign stop? Maybe then it would get some traction. Tim T has the low down on where the FISA bill stands now.
