- Eldorian, on 07/10/2008, -4/+42Replied to for effect. Seriously, if someone is going to list all the traitors, why don't we list the ones that are running for President?
I'd add McCain to the list for not voting against, an uncast vote is just as bad as a yes vote. - noahhoward, on 07/10/2008, -4/+36Full list:

Sessions (R-AL) - imhalfpirate, on 07/10/2008, -3/+33Thanks for trying Senator Dodd.
- nomadhacker, on 07/09/2008, -5/+36Your votes at work
- OC73, on 07/10/2008, -3/+32Obama to his supporters: Drop Dead
- cawpin, on 07/10/2008, -1/+27No, Obama voted FOR THE FINAL BILL, which included immunity. Get your ***** straight.
- johndavidjack, on 07/10/2008, -6/+32Our founding forefathers are rolling in their graves as we speak. We're so *****...
- mecharabbit, on 07/10/2008, -4/+29The "I was only following orders" argument didn't work for the Nazis at Nuremburg, and it shouldn't work for the telecoms, either.
- ProjectGSX, on 07/09/2008, -14/+37I have mixed feelings about this. Personally, I dont think the telecoms should be sued for following the orders of the government. Its the GOVERNMENT that should be on trial here. Or, rather, the people who approved the illegal spying program. Bush is the one who should be seeking immunity, not ATT, et al.
Oh, and, FTA:
"The Democrats' presumptive presidential nominee Barack Obama (D-Illinois) voted for the final bill, despite intense lobbying by supporters who used Obama's own online organizing technology to try to hold him to his promise to fight any bill that included amnesty."
Flip, flop. - mecharabbit, on 07/10/2008, -0/+23Sen. Specter, according to the article, noted that the bill violates the constitutional separation of powers by forbidding the courts to prosecute the telecoms, yet he voted for it anyway? What a coward.
- wishninja, on 07/10/2008, -1/+23if voting ever changed anything they would make it illegal.
- nontoxyc, on 07/09/2008, -6/+24SOMEONE GET A ROPE! DEMOCRATS=REPUBLICANS=FAIL
- Jaxim, on 07/10/2008, -1/+18Unfortunately this is not just about George Bush anymore. Obama voted for this too. We need a change in Washington and unfortunately I don't think anyone from either of the 2 major parties is the answer.
- bsmang, on 07/10/2008, -1/+18I was a pretty big Obama supporter... Not any more. There is no longer even a reason to vote this year other than to vote against all the ***** that voted for this *****. He's been unfriended.
- ralph12c41, on 07/10/2008, -1/+17Obama = 'Change"...LMAO
- jehan60188, on 07/10/2008, -3/+19terrorists win
- swrostmore, on 07/09/2008, -5/+20It's a win for people everywhere who have committed a felony and have friends in high places to pass laws protecting them from justice.
- InetRoadkill, on 07/10/2008, -3/+18This action by congress is the very essence of fascism. You have corporations and the govt working together to commit crimes against the countries citizens with zero accountablity. Absolutely shameful.
- kingp, on 07/10/2008, -0/+14US Government...the best money can buy.
- inactive, on 07/10/2008, -4/+18I thought Obama wanted change? Yet he makes time to make it in to vote yes on this? How is this change doesn't this assure things will keep chugging along how they are ?
- sotloo, on 07/10/2008, -0/+12You know...usually in a compromise neither side gets what they want but in Washington apparently compromise goes something like this… Republicans want to make something that is illegal legal, Democrats voice opposition to it, a “compromise” is made, then Democrats fold and give the Republicans what they want.
(What the hell about that is a compromise?) - facttech, on 07/10/2008, -3/+15If you don't think the corporations should be punished, you just don't understand the law as it was until today. Corporations were forbidden from doing just this sort of thing. A major reason, among others, that FISA exists in the first place is because of previous massive wiretapping without warrants done by Bell and Western Union and the other telecoms of the era. Read a little history about the Church Committee and the inception of FISA.
Or don't. It was the start of a chapter in history that seems to have ended today. - Crakecake, on 07/09/2008, -14/+25God save King George and the fascist regime!
Heil Fuhrer George & Cheney Heil! - wishninja, on 07/10/2008, -6/+16I think its more about protecting the Bush Adm.
- Jaxim, on 07/10/2008, -0/+10Unfortunately this is not just about George Bush anymore. Obama voted for this too. We need a change in Washington and unfortunately I don't think anyone from either of the 2 major parties is the answer.
- wardsac, on 07/10/2008, -4/+14You want "Party Lines"? This is it.
Those who voted in favor of treason are traitors who are only interested in money.
Those who voted to uphold the constitution are the ones interested in trying to salvage what shreds of democracy and freedom are left in America.
There is no more "Republican or Democrat". There are only "Traitors" and "Patriots". There's a nice list of the Traitors above. - stevetrojanman, on 07/10/2008, -5/+13Sadly, a fact that many liberals will choose to ignore...
Just like the fact that Obama voted for it. - stevetrojanman, on 07/10/2008, -6/+13Jesus can do no wrong...haven't you figured that out yet?
- inactive, on 07/10/2008, -0/+7When something like this gets "bipartisan support" you know it's time for a third party.
- krische, on 07/10/2008, -2/+9Don't forget Feingold too. He tried to fight the retroactive immunity along with Dodd.
- pintomp3, on 07/10/2008, -3/+10you never seem to get the facts right, do you?
Bill Passed 69-28, 3 not voting. 100% of Republicans supporting, 57% of Democrats opposing.
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=s200 ...
Amendment Rejected 32-66, 2 not voting. 64% of Democrats supporting, 100% of Republicans opposing.
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=s200 ... - Eivo, on 07/10/2008, -1/+9***** you, Rockefeller!
- noahhoward, on 07/10/2008, -0/+7Threw me off too. He just voted himself to the front of the line.
- pintomp3, on 07/10/2008, -0/+6that is true, he did vote to amend the bill to remove immunity, but 100% of the republicans voted against it:
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=s200 ...
he still shouldn't have voted for the final bill. - scojac, on 07/10/2008, -0/+6Starting to seriously consider moving out of here as soon as ***** possible.
This is ridiculous.
I saw that this passed yesterday and tried to talk about it with my family, friends, anyone - no one understood or cared, they were too busy watching tv or trying to tell me about some trivial thing (doctor's appt., etc.). I'm sick of this nation of dullards. - LazyLiberal, on 07/10/2008, -0/+6I really was hoping this would wake up the rest of the US on how this country was bought and paid for a long time ago and the government doesn't give a ***** about us. I guess we as a country don't care about our rights, well we get what we deserve. ***** you all who don't care.
- brstilson, on 07/10/2008, -3/+9The Democratic majority in congress is a myth. I'm convinced most of those so-called Democrats are actually Republicans in disguise.
- an0nymous, on 07/10/2008, -1/+6I reject the implicit assumption of your question.
It's not good. it wasn't good. The telecoms aided the President in breaking the law against warrantless wiretapping, a felony, and have been now been protected from having to reveal the nature of their activities. The lawsuits against which they sought to be protected were discovery lawsuits, by organizations designed to protect our civil liberties.
So truthfully, no I want them charged and imprisoned and the rule of law to be upheld. - EricCiccone, on 07/10/2008, -1/+6wasn't Dodd going to filibuster this?
- wishninja, on 07/10/2008, -1/+6I digg the sentiment in your post and agree. But man the truth hurts and this is getting too real to be funny anymore.
- NorthMass, on 07/10/2008, -0/+5Bob Barr anyone?
- zeebo, on 07/10/2008, -0/+5Rather than donate to Obama's campaign, from now on I'm donating to the EFF.
- calu99, on 07/10/2008, -1/+6breaking the law is the one good thing these corporations have done? Is that what you are saying? Because truthfully, if that is the case, then no, I do not want that rewarded.
