Article by missy on July 9th, 2008 at 9:40 am They just shot down Dodd’s amendment stripping immunity from the FISA bill, 66-32. Fuck. The vote on the whole bill is still to come, so if you haven’t called yet, please do so now. Phone numbers are in the post right under this one. First Draft’s Crack Van has all the latest.
