TELCOs win the immunity challenge. Good for them.

"his warrantless domestic spying program"

Damn it, these lefties make me sick. Let them live in the world of their making for a week. They'd be begging the Marines to do anything to save them.

“Editing by Patricia Zengerle and David Wiessler”

Dear Pat and Dave,

If you could for a moment put aside your hatred for a moment and assume the responsibilities of what is presumed when you tag yourself as “editors”.

Whom you refer to as “Bush” is the President of these United States, hence, one would think that in the “editing” process you would have inserted the title “President” in front of “Bush”.

Reuters, you are a despicable news (dis) organization.

Bush's spying program

No bias at al-Reuters; none at all.

Why not let the courts decide if privacy rights have been violated? Courts ought to adjudicate the constitutionality, anyway.

Dodd Filibuster Threat Wins; Spying Bill Postponed to Next Year

I heard Senator Sessions speak very eloquently on this bill. It is worth hearing again if cspan should ever replay it.

. . .domestic spying program. . .

The very phrase is a lie. The targetted communications were always between a party overseas suspected of ties to Al Qaeda, and another party possibly in the U.S.

Don't change the rules retroactively. If companies broke the law for the greater good, let them use a "necessity defense".

But don't play around with the law like this. If its good for the country, get the country behind it straight up and change the law out in the open, instead of this sneaky Executive "override" of Congress.

“Backers of immunity, who include some Democrats as well many of Bush’s fellow Republicans, contend companies should be thanked, not punished, for helping defend the United States.”

Such a novel idea.
