Thank God for Russ Feingold

I can't say how proud I am of the fact that one of my senators is actually doing his job and performing oversight of the executive branch. And it's especially refreshing to see some Republicans growing a bit of a spine and doing the same, like Specter.

Update: Feingold posted his review over at TPMCafe.
