On Surveillance Bill, Debate Postponed Till Monday

A few turncoat Democrats sided with the Republicans today to force the Surveillance Bill onto the Senate floor.

Isn’t that special? I didn’t think so either.  From TPMmuckraker:

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) moved for a vote on cloture — that would force an end to debate and trigger a simple majority vote on the underlying Senate intelligence committee version of the bill (which has retroactive immunity). To do that, he’ll need 60 votes.

Reid objected to this, said that he would vote against it, and then postponed the vote until Monday.

Reid is a pimp, plain and simple. The Democrats are so damn afraid of being called ’soft on terrah’ they will pretty much pass anything BushCo wants at this point.  If you don’t believe me, read the letter Reid’s dumbass sent up to the Pres this afternoon. I refuse to post it here, so click the link at the top of the post.
