Spineless Dems cave on phone co. immunity

"U.S. phone companies would be shielded from potentially billions of dollars in lawsuits under an anti-terror spy measure that appears headed toward approval, congressional sources said on Wednesday."

And the most unpopular president in history gets his way again.

I heard this on NPR today and had to turn it off halfway through the broadcast! Jesus-H-Fucking-Christ!! What has to happen around here!?! A two-way 'telescreen' in every room in our house (ala "1984") - - because... 'what do you have to hide?... 'if you're innocent you shouldn't care what anybody knows about you', etc, etc - - unless of course you're the fucking 'unitary executive' or one of his toadies, in which case you can freely stonewall 98% of everything and lie about the other 2% with no ill effects, legally speaking! (NO such reasoning for them, or their corporate partners, or their Pentagon partners!)
"Protecting our Freedoms" - - yeah, right.
