Senate and Bush Agree On Terms of Spying Bill
The story can be found here (Washington Post)
With regards to the telcos being granted immunity for assisting in an illegal wiretapping scheme, I hate to say “I told you so”... but I told you so. Apparently it is ok to engage in unconstitutional conduct as long as you get Congress to agree to make it legal retroactively.
It’s a nice racket if you can get into it.
Of course, this implies that Congress can remove said retroactive immunity, too. I’m not holding my breath on that possibility.
