Fuck the Senate

The Senate gave the telecom industry legal protection for its (illegal) eavesdropping activities today. Retroactively. Assholes, especially the spineless Democratic weasels who voted to give the telecom industry immunity. From the Salon link:

"The Senate today -- led by Jay Rockefeller, enabled by Harry Reid, and with the active support of at least 12 (and probably more) Democrats, in conjunction with an as-always lockstep GOP caucus -- will vote to legalize warrantless spying on the telephone calls and emails of Americans, and will also provide full retroactive amnesty to lawbreaking telecoms, thus forever putting an end to any efforts to investigate and obtain a judicial ruling regarding the Bush administration's years-long illegal spying programs aimed at Americans."
