		<description>Russ Feingold was the single strongest (and loneliest) voice in the US Senate warning about the abuses and excesses of executive power in the Bush administration.  When the USA PATRIOT Act passed the Senate 98-1, it was Sen. Feingold who opposed it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now, I don&#039;t think this is a particularly legitimate issue with which to address the Constitutionally-dubious expansion of executive power that occurred under Bush/Cheney and remains largely unchanged under Obama, but Sen. Feingold is a principled and consistent champion of civil liberties and the Bill of Rights.</description>
