Heckuva job, Democrats

Congratulations to Reps. Pelosi and Hoyer on passing the Nuremburg Defense into US law.

What this bill means to the Telecoms: The lawsuits they face could be dismissed by a court if the Telecoms proved that they had received directives from the administration that said warrantless wiretapping was legal. They already have that evidence so basically they have been give immunity against all lawsuits with this bill.

So we sanction lawbreaking by telecoms and individuals within the Bush administration, just so long as they were obeying orders from the Leader. Befehl ist Befehl.

Go ahead and congratulate yourselves for this achievement. At least the new law has a sunset and so only sanctions an additional 4 years of lawlessness.
