Just recieved an email from the ACLU saying they will be suing as soon as Bush signs this bill..
The FISA Amendments Act allows for mass, untargeted and warrantless surveillance of all communications coming into and out of the United States. And to top it off, it hands immunity to telecom companies for their role in domestic spying. This means your phone calls can be tapped and emails read with virtually no proof of threat, and there's no chance to learn how the telecoms invaded your privacy.
It’s outrageous, unconstitutional and un-American. That’s why the ACLU is prepared to challenge this unconstitutional law the moment President Bush signs it.
Please help support the ACLU over this imposrtant issue.

Now I have been critical of others slamming Obama on this issue only becuase he is not the only one to blame here. I think all members of congress are to blame democrats AND republicans. This bill as passed, is indeed a disaster.
I am not confident that the Supreme Court will overturn this but something needs to be done.
