Senator Wyden single-handedly forces floor debate on renewal of the secret wiretap laws!

I would so vote for Wyden if I could. He put a hold on the bill which forces it to a full floor debate and vote where it can be filibustered. I'll bet the White House is not happy about this.

That's how the Senatorial hold should be used - to stop things that are clearly dangerous before they are allowed to sneak by the radar - not in a pissant obstructionist way just to cause problems for the incumbent.
