To the Editor:

   Six times since he was first elected, senator Dodd has sworn to support and defend the constitution of the United States. If he has preferred recently to support and defend his donors in the financial sector, he deserves to be voted out of office. In the matter of bonuses for A.I.G. however, senator Dodd has chosen to hide behind his own staffers. In this, he fails less as a senator than as a man.
