Senator Blocks FISA Bill Because of Telco Immunity!

Finally! Some guts!

Senator Chris Dodd will block the FISA renewal bill as long as it grants retroactive immunity for their involvement in the illegal spying. Of course, the FISA bill should have been blocked anyway. I didn't read through it, but Bush signed it.

House Reaffirms FISA

(Image is in the Public Domain)

So the House has confirmed that FISA is the ONLY way that surveillance can be secretly done in the US. Um… duh?

Is there anyone that understands this whole mess? Bush breaks the law along with the Telecommunication companies. He gets away with it because no one seems willing to challenge him. He tries as hard as he can to get immunity for the Telco's too.

Congress has repeatedly rejected all attempts to circumvent FISA in new bills, but even if they HAD passed a new law, Bush is still guilty of violating the first one! I just don't get it.
