John Cornyn on FISA

John Cornyn, one of the stupidest US Senators, adds to the false statements of Warner and Kyl. Cornyn suggests that a corporation would have to consult its lawyers before complying with Federal requests for assistance in the future if this retro-active immunity is not passed. If they'd had a warrant in the first place there'd be no need to provide for retro-active immunity and, there'd be no need to consult a lawyer. There's a truly nasty implication here, too. That the Executive Branch will violate the Constitution, again and again, and each time retroactive immunity will be provided.
