I've heard a lot recently about how "un-American" Feingold's vote was (I'm from Wisconsin). I don't understand how people are getting so up in arms about this. What I do understand is how hyper-nationalism can be used against the nation.
If this bill had been floated in Washington before the tragedy on September 11, half of the nation, especially people who frequent /., would have been screaming bloody murder. There are a number of articles within the bill which probably take a step or two over our supposed civil liberties. This, along with Feingold's anticipated future plans, are reason enough for him to vote against it.
I have heard talk that suggests we may all be seeing Feingold in a bid for the Presidency sometime in the next decade. If those are indeed his plans, anticipate how great it will look in 2007 and 2008 when the public has recovered from the shock of the attack and Our Savior Russ Feingold was the one who tried to protect us from it in the first place.
On the other hand, maybe he's just a good guy who stands up for what he feels are the best interests of his constituents.
Who knows. Either way, thanks for standing up for us Russ.
