Bush has now directly threatened to veto the entire law on domestic surveillance if it does not contain retroactive immunity for past lawbreaking by telecommunications companies. At the same time, he insists that if this law expires on February 1st as scheduled, that we will be in grave danger. He is directly threatening to put us all in “grave danger” if certain legal desires of corporations are not met.
Today is the day to stop telecom immunity, it is the day of the showdown. Tomorrow will be too late. Tell these people to vote “no” on cloture (a vote to sustain Dodd’s filibuster of the version of the bill containing full telecom immunity for illegal domestic spying on Americans).
