. . .as you call Senators to lobby them to filibuster, call it what it is:

The War Criminals Protection Act of 2006

As you write letters to the editor (e.g., applaud NY Times for calling for a filibuster), call it what it is:

The War Criminals Protection Act of 2006

As you engage with others in cyberspace and in the Real World, call it what it is:

The War Criminals Protection Act of 2006

Let's inject this label into the noise machine!

Words are powerful. Labels move the game. If the label sticks, it could kill this thing.

1. Not gonna happen. Dems made a deal:

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 — The Senate today rejected an amendment to a bill creating a new system for interrogating and trying terror suspects that would have guaranteed such suspects access to the courts to challenge their imprisonment.

The vote was 51 to 48 against the amendment, which was offered by the Republican and Democratic leaders of the Judiciary Committee, Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania and Senator Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont. The action set the stage for final passage of the bill, which was approved on Wednesday by the House of Representatives.

The bill’s ultimate passage was assured on Wednesday when Democrats agreed to forgo a filibuster in return for consideration of the amendment. Any changes in the Senate bill, however, would have made it impossible for Republican leaders to meet their goal of sending the bill to the White House before adjourning on Friday to hit the campaign trail.

4. I had heard the reports, but thanks. They said Alito was a done deal too.

. . .and we came darn close to getting a filibuster.

And we DID get a heck of a lot of them to stand up and actually tell some truth.

Never say never is my motto.
