Good News! DISCLOSE Act Stalled

In a delightful show of spinal fortitude, the Republicans maintained their filibuster of the DISCLOSE Act (S.3628).  Many organizations, from the National Right to Life to the American Civil Liberties Union, see this as a virtual gag order and stifling of political speech.  Even the AFL-CIO has withdrawn its support.  Details are found at Lifesite News.

This raises hopes that the Senate Republicans can find it within themselves to maintain a filibuster when it comes time to vote on Elena Kagan's nomination to the Supreme Court.  She must be kept from that bench, and the Republicans must be encouraged (by us!) to stand firm.
