The Senate Intelligence Committee version of the FISA bill that includes immunity for the telecoms got through the cloture vote today. Drational has the background on closing the cloture vote here. Roll call here.
Senator Dodd has promised a filibuster. Ted Kennedy and Russ Feingold have promised to help in this effort so far. Boxer yielded an hour of her time to him, and his aides were also approved for some time.
