Friday TPM's Today's Must Read was about handicapping the FISA bill votes. "The table is set for Monday, when the Senate will vote on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) attempt to end debate on the intel committee's bill. That motion to invoke cloture will need 60 votes to pass. If it does pass, then the Senate would immediately vote on the bill, which civil libertarians dislike for a number of reasons beyond its measure granting retroactive immunity to the telecoms."
Yesterday a senior administration official said "The president would veto a 30-day extension". Instead he wants a new full bill passed by Friday.
