We (UK) have it, and it just seems to be wasting time and money doing all those requests. But yeah, they always have crap to hide.

I saw that post on reddit yesterday. It's a good idea, but the senator who did it won't answer, they probably don't even answer their own phones, the people who said they'd call will just get some person in the office who says "thanks for calling so-and-so's office, he's in a meeting right now, would you like me to call you back when I have information available for you?" and then never get a call back, or else they'll get some automated message. I don't even see how they know it was a Democrat, Leahy might have just been guessing (if it's secret how can they really know the party affiliation :? ).
I agree the bill should be passed though, eventually it probably will. Does anyone know if the senator will have to reveal his identity if he lets it go? If he does, he/she might never do it, but it would kind of suck to never know who did it.
