Stop retroactive telecommunications immunity « Thread Started on Oct 25, 2007, 6:57am » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Let's get right to it and talk about how we stop retroactive telecommunications immunity from becoming law.The way I see it, there are three ways to get this provision stripped from the final bill: 1.) The first step would be to make sure the idea doesn't make it out of the Senate Judiciary Committee -- where it will be considered shortly. If we can get it stripped there, it will have to be offered as an amendment to the overall bill where it will be a lot easier to get 41 votes against retroactive immunity than 41 to sustain my filibuster if necessary. Take a moment and call up members of the committee, let me know what they said, and join others in tracking our progress in stopping the provision right there.http://chrisdodd.com/immunityThe other two ways:2.) If retroactive immunity does make it out of committee, Senate leadership can honor the hold I've placed on any legislation that includes retroactive immunity.3.) If leadership does not honor my hold, I remain committed to filibustering, and working to get the 41 votes necessary to maintain it.This has the potential to be a long fight -- so let's build a solid foundation for our effort today by asking members of the Judiciary Committee to vote against any FISA bill that includes retroactive amnesty. http://chrisdodd.com/immunityI'd like to see a little more spine, frankly, on these issues. People tell us they want to lead, but a little leadership right now would certainly be welcomed on these questions. I don't want to, but I'm not afraid to do this alone.
