"One of the Greatest Intrusions, Potentially, on the Rights of Americans Protected Under the 4th Amendment" - Sen. Feingold Blasts Telecom Spy Bill

It's being described as the most significant revision of the nation's surveillance law in three decades. The Senate is preparing to vote on rewriting the nation's Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and giving immunity to phone companies involved in President Bush's secret domestic spy program. We speak with Senator Russ Feingold (D--WI), who has been the leading congressional voice against the Bush administration's warrantless spy program since it was exposed nearly three years ago.

There is no rule of law in the U.S. Of course, the poor, minorities, etc., are harshly punished for any infraction. But the rich and powerful and people acting in the interests of the rich and powerful are in effect not under the rule of law. Of course, sometimes they are prosecuted for misdeeds. But not often and generally they are not seriously punished. The "law" has become whimsical.

Spinless Democrats in the House where they are in a majority have nothing to say, lets hope the Senate can do something.
