Olbermann talks with George Washington law professor Jonathon Turley…

Rep. Tom Udall (D-NM) who is running for US Senate in New Mexico released a great statement explaining his decision to vote against the so-called compromise on FISA.

The FISA bill we considered today would compromise the constitutionally guaranteed rights that make America a beacon of hope around the world.

Today’s vote was not easy. I stood up to leaders of my own party and voted against this bill, because I took an oath to defend Americans and our Constitution, and it was the right thing to do.

That duty is most important when it is most difficult. We can protect our nation while upholding our values, but unfortunately, this bill falls short.

At the Republican debate on Thursday, Tim Russert asked the Republican candidates for President if they plan on staying in Iraq even though over 60% of the American people think the war was the wrong idea. There answers are exactly why Republicans will have a very difficult time winning in November (especially Huckabee comparing Iraq to an Easter egg hunt). Each candidate has their head in the sand, except for Ron Paul, who was the only candidate to get applause.

Keith Olbermann and Sam Seder do a great job analyzing these answers.
