The awesomeness of Ron Wyden

I am sometimes vexed with Ron Wyden, especially when he fails to agree 100% with my thoughts, but I have to hand it to him in his unwavering efforts to preserve our civil liberties in Congress, especially when the government has granted itself the right of warrantless wiretapping and secretive rules on drone killings.  He along with our other Senator Jeff Merkley has kept up the pressure on the administration to provide better oversight and transparency of the rules governing spying on US citizens, and the rules of due process when a US citizen is targeted in a drone strike.  Some recent articles on his efforts are here and here.
