The ACLU has reportedly uncovered [0]another pass at telecom immunity and
is urging concerned citizens to speak out against what they call a
“dangerous backroom deal.” “But now, word comes that House leadership may
be working hand-in-hand with Senator Jay Rockefeller, the Democratic
Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, who has spearheaded
efforts to give immunity to law-breaking phone companies that provided
mountains of customer data to the government without warrants. As
discussions continue, it’s critical that House leadership avoid buckling
to pressure from the White House or Senator Rockefeller at all costs.
House leadership — and every representative — need to draw a line in the
sand, by rejecting any compromise that would undo the achievement we
fought so hard for in February.”
