She voted for the RESTORE act, unfortunately. I appealed to her as a former prosecutor not to let lawbreaking go unpunished. I hope it helps. If ever the Democrats need to fight with Bush, the Republicans and Bush-enabling Democrats this is the time.
I e-mailed Edwards, Obama and Clinton too, telling them that leadership isn't just a word but an action, and that now is the time to take action.
BTW, Glenn, I'm a big fan of your writing, even when it makes me despair like it has today. If not for you there would be many things I would know little or nothing about. Keep fighting the good fight, and encouraging us to help you.

John Edwards issued the following statement
"In Washington today, telecom lobbyists have launched a full-court press to win retroactive immunity for their illegal eavesdropping on American citizens. Granting retroactive immunity will let corporate law-breakers off the hook and hamstring efforts to learn the truth about Bush's illegal spying program.
"It's time for Senate Democrats to show a little backbone and stand up to George W. Bush and the corporate lobbyists. They should do everything in their power -- including joining Senator Dodd's efforts to filibuster this legislation -- to stop retroactive immunity. The Constitution should not be for sale at any price."
