Although I was the only Senator to vote No on that law back in 2001, I'm not alone anymore. Countless people across the country from all over the political spectrum, have stood up and made it clear that they refuse to sacrifice their rights and freedoms for vague assertions that doing so will make us safer.

(He goes into some backgroud and legislative detail here)

I will do everything I can to prevent this bad conference report from going forward.....

So, what happens next? The way things stand right now, it looks like the House will take a vote on the conference report on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week, and then it will come over to the Senate. That's when things could get very interesting.

Sorry for the long initial post, but I wanted to make sure that that everyone has the background and context to follow the show this week. Of course, if I'm busy on the floor, I may not be able to post here as often as I would like, but I will follow your comments and try to keep you up to date on the latest developments.

I'm looking forward to hearing from everyone on this and other issues this week.
