    Money

    The only reason I can think of why the dems will allow this retroactive immunity for the phone companies pass is money. Campaign contributions and lobbyist pressure will get the phone companies the immunity they want. If those lawsuits were successful they could lose billions in judgements against them. It's all about the money.
