Looks like Bob Barr, Phyllis Schlafly, Chuck Hagel, Larry Craig, Olympia Snowe and Arlen Specter are unhappy with Bush secretly abusing his elected office in both the use of unwarranted spying on american citizens and several provisions of the Patriot Act.
This article even goes as far as puting these usually hardline conservatives in bed with the ACLU and hints at infighting between the white house and the senate majority leader.
If this is true ... the republicans not only have to worry about keeping the senate in '06, they also need to worry about keeping everyone on board, particularily Olympia Snowe who could pull a Jeffords if the dems close the gap in the senate count.
Interesting stuff.
