Subject: RE: [IP] BEST LAW MONAY CAN BUY --  Senate votes Telecom  
immunity

What an incredible disgrace.  I am appalled that particularly the  
Democratic
majority in the Senate is giving a pass to potential illegal conduct  
by the
telecom companies, and therefore implicitly endorsing the many  
breaches of
the Constitution and other laws by the Bush Administration in the  
alleged
name of "homeland security."  While I would not be surprised to see  
President
Bush use his pardon power to undo any resulting convictions, to  
retroactively
immunize these companies from even the potential for prosecution is  
not only
damaging to the rule of law, but makes it less likely that the American
people will ever be able to truly find out how many of our civil  
liberties
have been trampled upon.  {Jonathan}
