NO IMMUNITY: House Dems grow a pair . . . Senate still out to lunch

HR 3773, the House version of a FISA bill, is nothing less than a reprimand to the Senate for it's repeated failures and capitulations on this issue. Not only has the House refused to include retroactive immunity, it's called for an investigatory commission with subpoena powers. The White House, unsurprisingly, whined and held fast to it's increasingly hollow-sounding fear mongering.

Now the Senate and House will have to reconcile the two bills and send it to President Bush.

We'll all be watching . . . as closely as possible.
