Thank you, Senator Dodd

nobody@vox.com(Brons) — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 10:50:46 -0500

Senator Dodd, Thank you, Senator. Thank you for doing what so few have these last few years: standing up for the Rule of Law. The Rule of Law doesn't have a big office on K Street, nor does it result in much juicy gossip. And though, for a while...
