Senate Votes for Telco Immunity in Wiretapping

The Senate caved to the White House on immunity for telecommunications companies while overturning amendments that would have provided greater checks in the interest of civil liberties. Senator McCain voted in favor the final measure, while Obama and Clinton did not make the vote. Clinton issued a statement from Texas saying she would have voted No.

Cochran and Wicker both voted "yea."

So take THAT you damned inconvenient civil liberties!
