    The Republican talking points are ridiculous

    I heard Senator Kit Bond say something to the effect of:

    "Telcos did nothing wrong, nothing illegal, they don't need amnesty. We should therefore give them legal immunity for breaking the law. Requiring (retroactive) warrants makes intelligence gathering impossible, we will be flying blind!"

    He then scolded people who oppose the bill as being "lacking in knowledge."

    How do these people sleep at night?
