Greetings Dave,The bill Senator Feinstein introduced is S. 214. It has 4 other cosponsors.
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c110:S.214: It is worth noting that none of these Senators were concerned enough last year with the indefinite US Attorney appointment provisions in the reauthorization bill to offer any amendments removing the provision - either in the initial reauthorization bill (H.R. 3199) or the supplemental "civil liberties" enhancement bill (S.2271.) Interestingly, only one of those co-sponsors, Senator Leahy of Vermont, was even disturbed enough by the 2005 Patriot Act Reauthorization to actually vote against it.Sen. Feinstein and the other cosponsors voted FOR the Patriot reauthorization. http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/ roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=2&vote=00029
I'm all in favor of remedying mistakes - better late than never! - but it is interesting that these 4 Senators are only now to remedy a bill they voted in FAVOR of, each of them at least twice, without even trying to amend the bill at the time. On 1/25/07, David Farber <dave () farber net> wrote:
