I am watching C-SPAN 2 and the Frist Amendment vote is occuring.  This is the amendment that will revoke a Senator's right to look at classified FBI reports or refer to an FBI agent's comments if the Senator refers to either of them on the Senate floor. 


Notice that it does not talk about covert agents in general, or to other government officials than senators.  Say for instance, Deputy Chiefs of Staff. 


So this vote is not to be confused with the Reid ammendment which revokes security clearances of federal employees who reveal the identity of covert agents.  Rove is classified as a Federal employee, and has revealed a covert agent.


And it has not passed 33-64.


More to come on the Reid ammendment.
