Anyone think we have ANY chance of persuading Congress to do the right thing?
CDT Urges Congress to Reject FISA Amendment Legislation:
CDT today urged Congress to reject legislation to amend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that is expected to be voted on in the House tomorrow and in the Senate next week. The legislation fails to give the FISA court adequate authority to ensure that the Americans are protected against unjustified surveillance of their communications. It also provides immunity to telecommunications carriers that assisted with warrantless surveillance for years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
