Great comments...for the most part. I don't agree with Feingold as far as economics, but he's definitely right on this civil liberty issue:

Russ Feingold Talks About FISA, A Sad Moment for Our Country

Today’s vote in the Senate approving FISA legislation was a huge blow to our country, our Constitution and our rule of law. Twenty-six Democrats stayed true to democratic principles and voted against the bill, which grants immunity to telecommunication companies who betrayed the American people by illegally spying on our communications without warrants.

One of the Democrats who voted correctly today was Senator Russ Feingold, who appeared on Wednesday’s Countdown with Rachel Maddow. Feingold has long been a staunch advocate for following the Constitution, speaking out against President Bush’s illegal wiretapping program and fighting and voting against the anti-American Patriot Act. Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama voted for the FISA legislation, and while Feingold says there is hope that as president, Obama could change the unconstitutional aspects of the bill, it was still “the wrong vote.”

Feingold's a great statesman.

Yeah, Feingold is great, I've already messaged him in addoration for his statements on FISA (I believe it was on Olbermann). He makes me proud to be a Wisconsinite.

Yes, that bill is a very loud statement...the well being of conglomerates is more important than civil rights of citizens and the Constitution.
