MSLBer Jsh Marshall, host of Talking Points Memo, links to this Congressional Quarterly article as hope that Obama will get the telco immunity he voted for in last year’s FISA bill. Fat chance, as the ACLU notes on page 2 of the story. Josh, you’re grasping at straws.
Meanwhile, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, whether simply making its best honest ruling by its lights or else trying to inject itself into civil suits, is expected to release a public ruling that warrantless snooping on Americans is OK.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
