    I don't think you're right about Whitehouse. He voted against stripping out immunity in the Intelligence Committee and, as I understand it, was one of 14 Democrats or so to sign the motion for cloture on this bill.

    Damn. I guess it's too late to ask him to support the filibuster, then? Can he take back his signature on the cloture motion?

    I'll call his office anyway, but I don't want to sound uninformed and ask for the impossible - that would just give his people an excuse to ignore my call.
