Senate Authorizes Expansion of Surveillance Act

[toxic]

Clearly Republicans don't care about their civil liberties and the Democrats just don't have any balls.

68 Senators approve increased spying on Americans.

Bush is pleased.

Thanks for the link. I know where I'm at with my two Senators

The time is right for a violent revolution! That is what they said in the 60's but I think is more appropriate now.

It still has to get through the House. The original House Bill did not provide for Telecom immunity. bush is still promising a veto is there is no provision for immunity of the telecom companies for spying on US citizens.

I said on that psycho-board that I'm an old man and; therefore, if I have to go out in an honorable fight, it will be as good as most other ways:zen:rooster

Good to see that my Senator, a Presidential contender, decided not to vote. He wouldn't want any record for people to call him on now would he?

It's a shame more didn't vote for this. Only 68......

[Trueblue]

Yeah, what a shame more people aren't for spying. :twitch
