Thursday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

The Senate will be debating FISA. I want the back story on how that bill reared its ugly head again. Who influenced Jay Rockefeller and Steny Hoyer? Who told the Democratic leadership that passing this bill was good politics? All of these decisions are filtered through a political lens. Who was sitting at the table when they decided to go forward? Which Hill staffers, which lobbyists, which Democratic consulting firms, which which interest groups helped make this happen? That's what I want to know.

Today is also the last of the session for the Supreme Court.

Start threading...
