The Death of a Free Nation?

That would be the United States of America.

As you know, a few Senators were determined to filibuster the FISA bill to death. The Senate voted to cut off debate on the bill

Fifteen Senators voted against cutting off debate:

Biden (D-DE)
Boxer (D-CA)
Brown (D-OH)
Cantwell (D-WA)
Dodd (D-CT)
Durbin (D-IL)
Feingold (D-WI)
Harkin (D-IA)
Kerry (D-MA)
Lautenberg (D-NJ)
Leahy (D-VT)
Menendez (D-NJ)
Sanders (I-VT)
Schumer (D-NY)
Wyden (D-OR)

Only the Vermonters and New Jerseyites had both of their senators vote to kill FISA. These Senators are Heros of the Constitution.

As Firedoglake noted, this was the real vote. Various pissant Senators will vote, unsuccessfully, against one provision or another, but that will be just a fucking sham, little more then theater.

If your Senator is not on the list above, your Senator, either actively or tacitly (five did not show up, two are ill [Kennedy and Byrd] and the other three are too busy campaigning [Clinton, Obama, McCain]) is in favor of a system of electing a tyrant. Those eighty-five (OK, 83, Kennedy & Byrd get a pass on this) senators have endorsed the Nixonian principle that "the king president can do no wrong."

If your Senator is not one of the fifteen (plus two), then I strongly urge that you vote for whoever runs against them in the next election, irrespective of party.

For they have trashed the principle of "a government of laws, not men" and they all deserve to lose their phony-baloney jobs.
