I'm disturbed by the number of troll-like comments in this thread. This isn't a deal breaker for me, and I think our pressure is going to make him work all the hard to remove the immunity provisions. I hope so, in any case.

But we do need to keep the pressure up on ALL our elected officials. And we need to reach out to the right wing - this is one of those issues that isn't liberal or conservative - this is about American freedoms at stake!!

"troll-like" comments? where? l don't see anything here but righteous indignation that the presumptive nominee of the demoRATic party  has pretty much turned his back on the progressives that have helped him achieve success, with a "thanks for your input, but fuck you very much" response.

get a grip, his position on this is wrong, and you don't have to look very hard to find the reasons.

you can, and should, be royally pissed at pelosi and hoyer for allowing it to come to the floor in the house, and subsequently brought to the floor in the senate. you can rail against reid and schumer for the same damn thing in the senate, but it's there, and it's going to be voted on, and it's going to pass, essentially intact. the amendments such as dodd/fringold have a snow balls chance in hell of  gettingt 51 votes...or 60 votes to prevent cloture. lberman, feinstein, salazar, and a host of others on the dRAT side aren't going to vote against it, and you can bet your rent money that the RATs are going to be solidly behind it... it's a fait accompli.

the sad part of it is he's alienating people for no reason.

this is  huge failure to act and demonstrate the kind of leadership he's talked about throughout his campaign for a calculated political gain. based on the old cw of tracking to the right so's not to loose the middle. fyi, the only thing in the middle [of the road] aredead skunks and armadillos.

it is a travesty of a bill, and it is a glaring example of what l fear we can expect from an obama presidency.

sorry if you don't agree, but my 4th amendment rights are not negotiable, nor are they subject to hoping for a change.

l ain't a believer.

as AG says, wake the fuck up! you just got screwed, and you didn't even get a kiss.

l'm tired of this shit.

l'm outta here.

later

the revolution will not be televised...
