I'm so disappointed, maybe even a little scared.
Does the law mean nothing? Never mind the actual effectiveness of domestic spying -- that's a different debate.
If this was so important, why wasn't it made legal in the first place? Oh wait... it was. There was a system in place that provided the tools and (meager) oversight that allowed domestic wiretapping. There were even provisions for emergency warrant-less spying for time-sensitive operations. They had all they needed.
So why do they need immunity? Well, they clearly overstepped the generous boundaries that the law provided.
Now that they have their immunity, they (the Telecoms and associated governmental agencies) need to fess up to the full extent of their illegal activities. The American People deserve to know, now that we've granted immunity to these commercial entities, exactly what illegal activities they have participated in and enabled.
Then we can let capitalism work.
