Some of Bush’s lackeys in Congress are trying to do an end run around the FISA laws in order to make sure that the currently illegal domestic spying program becomes legal, and does so retroactively to prevent any embarrassing trials for the felonies being committed daily by the Administration.

The [current] bill also removes the current language language that clearly states that any eavesdropping conducted outside of FISA is illegal.

In its place?

This line: “Nothing in this Act shall be construed to limit the constitutional authority of the President to collect intelligence with respect to foreign powers and agents of foreign powers.”

Lovely.
