We're currently on the eve of the Senate vote which will replace existing (and perfectly functional) FISA law with a bill that expands executive power, grants retroactive community to telecoms who illegally cooperated in spying on Americans, and that will continue to destroy the constitutional right to privacy (it includes spying on Americans). Here's the kicker: 70 senators still haven't even been briefed on the bill. They don't even know what they're being asked to grant immunity for.
Based on precedence, several Democrats will cross the divide and support this legislative garbage. It will pass, and the telecoms will be given retroactive immunity. Nothing short of a Fight Club-esque "project mayhem" will be able to hold anyone accountable for anything when it comes to wiretapping.
Bush committed a felony at least 30 times and he's going to get a pass.
