FISA Bill passes with a 69-28 vote. Did Hillary set herself up for a netroots push at the convention?

I am beginning to think so, although half don’t know what they are mad about so take this with a grain of salt.  HuffPo refers to it as the Attack Of The Epic Failure,  while  telling the reader that “its total capitulation to the Bush administration and its corporate masters, through passing legislation that dramatically expands the government’s surveillance powers and immunizes the companies responsible for illegally spying on us from any form of legal redress for the victims.  Barack Obama’s surrender on the FISA fight   practically removes all oversight from the process and expands the government’s surveillance reach not only to the Internet and databases, but to outsource that surveillance to corporate partners such as AT&T”

Barack voted for the bill while Hillary voted against…Did Hillary set herself up for a netroots push at the convention?

Jeff Goldstein: You can’t spell “hopeyness” and “changitude” without “capitulation.”
