Must watch! This is scary. We had come to expect stuff like this from G. W. Bush, but not Obama. He did vote for the renewal of the KGB act, so we can’t expect too much.

Aaarrgg! The senate just passed the FISA Amendments Act. The version passed includes immunity from prosecution for telecom companies assisting in illegal wiretapping of americans. Both Indiana senators (Bayh and Lugar) voted yea. Obama voted yea. McCain didn’t vote.
It looks like at least part of the Bill of Rights will survive the Bush administration. Yesterday the Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment is an individual right. Now we just need them to eliminate the KGB Act. (Officially known as the USA PATRIOT Act.)
