Feingold skeptical of stopping FISA

But, he’s going to give it his best shot.
“I’m very worried we’re not going to be able to prevail.”

And, Feingold does an excellent, illustrative job of getting to the heart of the matter, beyond the immunity issue:
Holding up his BlackBerry, Feingold warned, “Every time you e-mail my daughter or text message her in England, anybody contacts their son or daughter in Iraq, anybody has kids [spending] junior year abroad, anybody that has a business associate anywhere around the world, all of that is now sucked up into a database over which there is essentially no control for the first time in American history. All of this has happened to you, and your communications, in a way that you never would have thought was possible in this country.... We're going to fall over on this.”

The Progressive has a further take on Obama’s FISA position.
