PATRIOT Act - Momentum?

I'm busy today, so I just wanted to point this out quickly...

On today's TMPCafe post, Sen. Feingold points out that there is a debate on the Senate floor about the PATRIOT Act starting at 10:30AM EST. In what I hope turns out to be a positive sign, he makes this comment:
I will be on the Senate floor listening and taking part in the debate and if you have the opportunity, please tune in. It's clear that your voices are being heard. Our efforts continue to pick up steam and more and more members of Congress understand that we need to change this conference report to address the important civil liberties concerns we have discussed over the last 4 years.
So, there's clearly good reason to believe our concerns are not falling on deaf ears. Reasonable civil liberties protections may not be dead just yet, folks.
