The National association of Manufacturers asks:

Are the 13 Senators also malign and corrupt?

Yes.

This has been another edition of simple answers to simple questions.

The administration had plenty of opportunity to taylor the FISA law to their liking when they still had a Republican majority in both houses. Why they didn't bother to do so remains mysterious. But this of course means that everything that they are saying now about how vital the latest modifications are is in fact a self serving lie.

Nothing in the current bill was unobtainable in any earlier legislative process EXCEPT retroactive immunity.

One needn't be overly suspicious or anything but rational to conclude that the scope of the NSA program has far exceeded anything that the public has been allowed to believe to date and that the members of the Senate intelligence committee (from both parties), having had the opportunity to object to the program well before today, are now complicit in trying to prevent the release of any further information on the subject.
