Democrats boldly give Bush everything he wants

Congress votes to immunize lawbreaking telecoms, legalize warrantless eavesdropping.

Obama, like almost half the Senate Democrats and all the Republicans, voted for cloture (i.e., against a filibuster of the bill) and for the final bill.

The ACLU and the EFF will be fighting this in the courts. (I just renewed my ACLU membership; they're going to have a hell of a lot of work to do when Obama's the president.)
