As far as left-of-center senators go, Oregon Senator Ron Wyden can be quite impressive. As Mike Masnick notes, Wyden is taking a civil libertarian stand on an issue most legislators barely comprehend:

Senator Ron Wyden, who has been one of the few elected officials regularly standing up for consumers and citizens rather than just rolling over for what big companies want, has again made it clear that he’s immensely troubled both by Homeland Security’s domain seizures and the plans for a new COICA bill, which he states, flat out: “I will do everything in my power to block it.” He notes that others across the political spectrum are getting more interested in this issue, because “when government seizes private property without due process, you get a lot of folks across the political spectrum coming together.”

Wyden deserves the support of his conservative colleagues in fighting against COICA and domain seizures without due process.
