According to recent reports, the Democrats and Republicans in the White House and Congress are, once again, crafting legislation to provide immunity to telecommunications corporations that conspire with government agencies to undermine the Constitutional rights of US citizens. If this story sounds familiar, that's because it is. The White House and Congress did the
same thing back in 2008 to protect companies that were facilitating the government's illegal and unconstitutional warrantless wiretapping programs. Now the degenerates in the Democratic and Republican parties are seeking to do the same for companies that conspire with the NSA to undermine the security of all our persons, houses, papers and effects. From
The Guardian:
The White House has asked legislators crafting competing reforms of
the National Security Agency to provide legal immunity for
telecommunications firms that provide the government with customer data,
the Guardian has learned.
In a statement of principles
privately delivered to lawmakers some weeks ago to guide surveillance
reforms, the White House said it wanted legislation protecting “any
person who complies in good faith with an order to produce records” from
legal liability for complying with court orders for phone records to
the government once the NSA no longer collects the data in bulk.
