I find it galling that the newest senator, Scott Brown, is one of the sponsors. I was pleased in a reserved way that he was elected, because it significantly decreased the chance of the Democrats' pushing anything they like through the Senate. But if he's going to contribute so strongly to the suppression of civil liberties, an area where Republicans stand a good chance of attracting enough Democrats to push stuff through and of getting Obama's signature, I'm seriously wondering whether I can even consider it a tactical win.
Which is pretty much the same series of reactions I had, with the parties reversed and the issues somewhat different, to Obama's election.
