January 24 FISA, Immunity, and Fear MongeringAccording to Kit Bond (R-MO), failing to pass the RESTORE Act, granting immunity to telecommunications companies that collaborate with the federal government to conduct warrantless and unconsitutional electronic surveillance, is dangerous. According to the Center for American Progress Action Fund, Bond went on to say that without immediate passage of permanent legislation (e.g., the RESTORE Act), "terrorists" will soon "be free to make phone calls without fear of being surveilled by U.S. intelligence agencies." Here's another perspective - without this legislation, citizens will be free to make phone calls without fear of being surveilled by U.S. intelligence agencies. Sounds good to me, being able to make a phone call, free from governmental snooping and intrusion. That's what I thought the Fourth Amendment was all about. So defeat the RESTORE Act, make the phone companies liable for the cooperation in illegal and unconstitutional surveillance. Make this Administration use the powers of the FISA court, properly. Otherwise we will find one more of our natural rights compromised by a neo-fascist ... whoops, I meant neo-conservative wanna be fascist administation intent on arrogating all power unto itself at the price of our liberty.
