Excerpt:
The Senate has voted on the key amendments to the FISA and they have failed.
Dodd’s amendment to strip Title II–the immunity provisions fails 32-66.
Specter’s amendment to limit retroactive immunity fails, 37-61.
Bingaman’s amendment that would delay the immunity until an Inspector General’s report is completed fails 42-56.
If you are as upset as I am about our elected officials deciding to protect telecom companies over the constitution, help fight back against these actions. Blue America has been leading the way to fight for our rights and to elect new candidates that will uphold the constitution.
George Washington University Law proffessor Jonathan Turley discusses the FISA bill on last night’s Countdown.
