It’s ok to break the law if the Government asks you to — Senate Gives immunity to Telecoms

My take away from this is that it’s ok for you to break the law if the government asks you to. Afterall, When Libby broke the law, Bush just pardoned him. When the Telecom companies broke the law by illegally spying on their customers, the Congress just rubber stamps a law saying, “nada problem.”
Even though 99% of Congress has ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what they are providing immunity FOR, it still passed!! Unbelievable.
Thank you to Senator Feingold and Senator Specter, true patriots who will redeemed by history.
Shame of Senator Obama for backing away from his promise to resist Telecom Immunity. And shame on the Bush Administration for making a mockery of the U.S. Constitution. Shame on the Democratic Congress for allowing this to happen.
It’s a shameful day for America when the rule of law is shredded.
Thanks to the New York Times for having the courage to break the story, and to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (www.eff.org) for promising to challenge the constituationality of this provision. I remain a pround subscriber to the NY Times and a monthly financial supporter of the EFF.
Hey, our rights are important. We can’t just roll over and let this happen.
