[*The Washington Post*](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/20/AR2005122001488.html), December 21, 2005:

> The four Republican rebels — Larry E. Craig (Idaho), Chuck Hagel (Neb.), John E. Sununu (N.H.) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) — have joined all but two Senate Democrats in arguing that more civil liberties safeguards need to be added to the proposed renewal of the Patriot Act.

Let’s hope that some of the prospective new senators who consider themselves constitutionalists will raise their voices on issues like this.
