Feinstein (D-CA) on FISA and retraoctive immunity.

[solarbird]

Quoting straight out of the Republican political playbook to support FISA revisions and retroactive telecom immunity, Senator Diane Feinstein said on the Senate floor this afternoon, "Taking no action [on FISA] means we will be opening our self [sic], in my view, to the possibly of a massive attack."

Gut the 4^th Amendment, endorse the principle that the Chief Executive can violate the law at will and order others to do so without punishment, and retroactively legalise years of domestic spying, or The Terrorists will Kill You. Wretched. Look for this in fall campaign ads, one way or another.

Every healthy society has someone whose job it is to tell the emperor he's naked.

Ours used to.
