House Votes For Telco Immunity; Obama Will Support?

Posted by kdawson on Saturday June 21, 2008 @06:37AM from the now-we-will-never-know dept.

We discussed telecom immunity yesterday ahead of the House vote. It passed by 293 votes to 129. Only one Republican voted against the bill; Democrats were evenly split. It now goes to the Senate. Reader Verteiron points out that Glenn Greenwald has up a post titled "Statement of Barack Obama supporting Hoyer FISA bill." It says that Obama will try to get the immunity provision removed, but failing that will vote for the overhauled wiretapping bill anyway. I couldn't find this on Obama's official site. Anyone seen a position from the McCain camp?

"Anyone seen a position from the McCain camp?"
Yes. Almost every evening, in my nightmares.

Those must have been Democrat tools, they were nice to look at but didn't seem to work fully. These new tools will work perfectly.
