Filibustering the Patriot Act Renwal?

I think that there's only one thing I agree with Russ Feingold on, and filibustering the Patriot Act renewal would not be a bad idea.

Update: The vote has now been postponed.

"FEINGOLD: Let’s go to something else then. I’d like to hear your views about the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms. This is an amendment where there’s a real shortage of jurisprudence.

You mentioned the Third Amendment where there’s even less jurisprudence, but the Second Amendment’s close. So I think you can maybe help us understand your approach to interpreting the Constitution by saying a bit about it.

The Second Amendment raises interesting questions about a constitutional interpretation. I read the Second Amendment as providing an individual right to keep and bear arms as opposed to only a collective right. Individual Americans have a constitutional right to own and use guns. And there are a number of actions that legislatures should not take in my view to restrict gun ownership. "
