Bush is now demanding that Congress give retroactive immunity to telecom companies who helped Bush illegally spy on American citizens, and if they don’t, he’s going to veto the domestic spying bill.

AP:

President Bush said Wednesday that he will not sign a new eavesdropping bill if it does not grant retroactive immunity to U.S. telecommunications companies that helped conduct electronic surveillance without court orders.

Good. Let him. He’s going to veto legislation he claims the nation desperately needs? Let. Him.

Bush has been telling us for years that all the domestic spying he was doing was legal. AT&T; told us that the spying was legal. Then why do they need immunity now if everything they were doing was legal?

This is absolutely outrageous. The Democrats had better not give this to Bush. He’s at 28% in the polls, folks. Stop acting like he’s in charge.
