Its not like they are going to tap each and every American to see what and who they are talking to.

No offense but thats bullcrud! We had a system in place! It was called GET A COURT ORDER! They didn't get a court order. THEY BROKE THE LAW!! And now they have immunity for it. Its just bullcrud! The whole thing is bullcrud!

First off the President was using a law which gives him power to do things in a time of war. They used that as their way to tap people and some say he over reached and some said he was within his his powers. This judge said it was not illegal.

WHAT!?!??! You actually believe that crap? The "Bush wiretapping broke no law" one.

If Bush's wiretapping broke no law then why is immunity included in this law THAT WAS JUST PASSED? It makes no sense dude! No offense, but this bill SUCKS!

I haven't read the bill, but the immunity was for the telecom companies that cooperated with the governments requests/demands for information. I don't see how any rational person would think they should be liable.

I too find it hard to prosecute a company when the White House were the ones requesting the information. I understand that they were complicit, but if the POTUS is asking for information to make our country 'safer', how could they deny such a request.
