who needs Democrats?

Over the past week, I have been exhorting all who read this to call or write their Senators—especially the Democratic ones—and insist that they stop the Republican Tribunal and Torture bills (both of them) by whatever means necessary, even filibuster.

I don’t know if that strategy is working—not only because very few of you have written in to tell me of your actions, but because it seems the Democrats would rather think it is politically smart to sit this one out.

Well, I still don’t think it is, but the Democrats, and the country, might just luck out. . . that is, if Bill Frist gets his way.
