Huh?
The Admin did nothing while Dems who voted for it previously slowly announced their opposition.  I understand the argument that you couldn't bring it to a vote until Franken was seated, but long before that happened we lost a lot of votes we had previously.  Unless Franken gets 15 votes or so, I fail to see how this was a strategy of hoping for more Senate Dems.  

I make no claim to know why they did it, but EFCA died while the Franken saga unfolded, and the Admin did nothing to stop it.  Even if its not dead, it will be far harder to switch all those Dems back then it would have been to hold them in the first place.

Who are the best keepers of the people's liberties? The people themselves. The sacred trust can be no where so safe as in the hands most interested in preserving it.
