Woot. Per boingboing, Senator Chris Dodd has committed to placing a hold on any bill that includes telecommunications amnesty. Bring it, buddy…about time someone showed some spine.

To be precise, here’s what I sent the senator:
Thank you very, very much, Senator. This is a principled act, and I realize you will be under a great deal of pressure to back down. Thanks for standing up for the rule of law and transparent government. Reading about this pretty much made my day. Take care, and good luck.

And it did, indeed, make my day. And after reading my fill of bad news this morning, I needed his post AND a unicorn chaser.
