Dodd's emphasis on constitutional and rule of law issues

The presidential candidate's decision to place a "hold" on any telecom amnesty bill is bold and consistent with his campaign's focus on the Constitution.

    Dodd was faulted for not answering the questions. From the some of the responses, it seemed that Dodd was a "weak" candidate.

    I think it's important to judge people on their actions in the present. Sometimes people change (Al Gore is a good example). Sometimes they respond to what people are demanding of them (responsiveness in political figures is a good thing). Either way, people are tired of empty statements and want action. This was action - it's not Republic-saving action, but it's significant action nonetheless.
