NYTimes
quotes Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) saying Bush acted within the constitution, and that the focus now should be on hunting down the whistleblower.
Of interest: McConnell thinks hearings should be in the Intelligence committee (it's Chair, Sen. Roberts, has been defensive about how his committee has given "oversight" to the program) wherey can be secret, rather than on Spector's Judiciary committee, where they would not. Judiciary is the proper venue, because at issue is the Executive's compliance with FISA, requiring its reporting to the Judicial branch.
For: 3 (Feingold, Feinstein, Spector)
Against: 2 (McCain, McConnell)
Uncertain: 95
