Filibustering telecom immunity
"The nation's telecoms are just one vote away from being free from lawsuits accusing them of helping the government spy on Americans without warrants, as the Senate is scheduled this week to vote on a bill that frees the nation's largest telecoms from suits accusing them of helping the government spy on Americans illegally.
President Bush is also set for a summer gift, as the bill also widely expands the government's ability to conduct blanket surveillance from inside the United States and implicitly blesses his five-year, secret end-run around the nation's surveillance law."
