  If the telecom companies have broken no laws or assisted in violating The Constitution, then there is no need for retroactive immunity. On the other hand if there has been some sort of crime here and the
  Whitehouse is at the center of it, then let the chips fall where they may. I don't believe anyone should
  pay the price of the freedom grant to them by the constitution, because a small minority of the people
  that voted this guy into office, still can't take responsibilty for that vote. If there is nothing for the American
  citizens to worry about, and civil liberties and protected, then allow the law makers that are called on to pass the law to view all of the documents produced from this program ot verify that no domestic spying has
  taken place.

  jimbo and jackt both seem to ignore the simple fact that, if the telecom companies have followed the laws,
  then they need no immunity. If they have not broken the law or violated the Constitution, then why would
  there be a need for it? Our goverment is responsible, to the citizens, to protect our civil rights as granted
  by the Constitution. Any effort the skirt that should by actionable and anyone involved should be called to account.

  jimbo, this is about domestic spying, your fearless leader has been scooping up domestic calls without a warrant. and without any link to terrorists. you really are fine with that? what if it was a money-chasing democrat doing it, would that also be fine?
  and btw, focusing on snooping on everybody is like the Iraq invasion, a further waste of precious resources making the real job less effective...
  he started this 7 mos prior to 9-11, maybe if he had been focusing on the real enemy, the whole thing could have been stopped. (and again, he spent more time blocking the 9-11 investigation than he spent on this current attempt to bury his mistakes.)
