"I don’t give a goddamn," Bush retorted. "I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."

"Mr. President," one aide in the meeting said. "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution."

"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed back. "It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!"

The Raw Story | Senate preparing to fold on telecom immunity: reports

The Raw Story | Senate preparing to fold on telecom immunity: reports: "Reports are emerging that the Senate is preparing to introduce a foreign surveillance law update that would shield telecommunications companies from litigation or prosecution over their assistance in the National Security Agency's warrantless wiretapping program instituted after Sept. 11."

The democrats folding? no way...

You simply cannot call this America any more if this law passes again, especially if immunity is granted to the telecoms. The corporations so freely gave information to the government that they should not have, and this bill would protect them, and thus the government, from any type of scrutiny whatsoever.
