Not sure if this should be categorized as a flip-flop or reneging on another commitment. In any case the “candidate for change” has now decided to vote yes on a the FISA bill that before he said he would support a filibuster of.

Quote:
“support a filibuster of any bill that includes retroactive immunity for telecommunications companies”.
Here is where he says he’ll support a filibuster:
Election Central | Talking Points Memo | Obama Camp Says It: He'll Support Filibuster Of Any Bill Containing Telecom Immunity


Here is where is says I’ll vote for it:
Obama Supports FISA Legislation, Angering Left | The Trail | washingtonpost.com


Feingold and Dodd still want to try and make a filibuster work (maybe Obama will swing back and give the lads a hand tomorrow?):
Slashdot | Dodd, Feingold To Try and Filibuster Immunity Bill


And an interesting letter from one of the many readers of the Rutland Herald:
Democrats sell out in Congress: Rutland Herald Online

Not to be outdone by the readership of the Rutland Herald, Feingold has posted a similar comment on his web page:
Statement of U.S. Senator Russ Feingold on the FISA Deal

(wait a minute Fiengold posted his comments before the Rutland Herald guy so maybe it's the other way around)

Personally I ain't a big fan of the bill. McCain no doubt will vote yes for it. And Bush is probably chomping at the bits to sign the damn thing.
