Ditto your notes on Grassley, he sounds like an up and up guy with some principles, unlike Lott that's a) obtuse, b) has a checkered past, c) can't think for himself and d) is a horrible leader. Not that Grassley should be ML (Nickles should take the spot).
We need more federal protection for whistleblowers. I fear that Bush and Ashcroft want to take them away. Maybe its to hide their mistakes of the past, or they just don't want to be bothered with trying to root out corruption.

Agreed. Grassley is invaluable in his present role.
