I'll have to throw him some of that money I won't be spending on Christmas presents.

Senators who spoke out against immunity today did very well, I really liked how Sherrod Brown talked about the Constitution, it was great.

21. IMCPO, we should ALL support the one man willing to fight for our Constitution...CHRIS DODD! He
should be the person we elect as our nominee. He deserves our support! Biden, Clinton and Obama didn't even bother to make a floor speech today and none of them thought it was important enough to even get a vote on the record.. How sad is that? Chris Dodd should be our nominee! Just a thought.

I wonder if we could get every member of DU to do that?;)

23. Did Dodd really do it?
Or did Reid finally decide to do the right thing (after massive constituent opposition?)

I credit the firedoglake grassroots movement and others like it. PLUS, the statement of Feingold.

Reid seemed to be willing to throw Dodd under the bus with the ignoring of the "hold".

Still, kudos to Dodd for his principled stand!
