Both Crooks & Liars and atrios are carrying the news that Sen. Christopher Dodd has announced he will introduce legislation tomorrow to repeal the worst provisions of the Torture . . . uh, I mean Military Commissions Act.
Rather than waste time on John Bolton and judges the judiciary committee already passed over, this is how the lame-duck Congress should be spending its time. The beauty of it is, if it doesn't pass, there's less than two months until the new Congress! Dodd has fired a shot across the administration's bow, letting them know exactly where he stands and what he intends to do about it.
This is real politics. This is real policy. The grown-ups are now in charge.
