Telcos Get Retroactive Immunity

69 Senators hate accountability:

Let there be no doubt: a majority of senators, and a large number of Democrats, think the telecoms should not suffer the hazard of accountability for cooperating with the administration's warrantless wiretapping program. Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) took to the floor last night to give a speech asking, "This is our defining question, the question that confronts every generation: The rule of law, or the rule of men?" The resounding answer: the rule of men.
Let's see if the final bill is filibustered. This is outrageous.

(note: Obama voted for the amendment. Kudos)
