Alas, my dkos diary was based on an (undated) item from Feingold regarding his intention to file amendments when FISA last came up, last winter. Hence my conclusions were all wrong. There was unanimous consent last Thursday to entertain only 3 Amendments, all limited to amnesty. On reading an undated statement from Senator Feingold detailing 6 Amendments he'd planned to introduce to last winter's FISA bill, I assumed the item was current, and gave a clue to his present strategy. Alas, my deduction was based on faulty data. The Senate agreed last Thursday to entertain only 3 Amendments, all on immunity.

Operation Read the Bill is still on, but leave off the inaccurate Amendments document.
