#1 I heard the price of getting the dems to agree to whistleblower protection was a serious dilution of the King-Lieberman language.

Don't celebrate yet.

In fact, I was half hoping the Dems would kill the whole thing so the Reps could keep proposing it each legislative session until fall of 2008

#2 Several blogs posted yesterday that the language has raised the bar on the protection. There must be "reasonable, objective evidence" that the baddies are in fact baddies. Sounds OK on the face of it but it is designed to allow scumbag lawyers (please excuse the the redundancy) to argue that it wasn't reasonable and therefore John Doe should be subject to harassment suits.
