Where do your candidate stand on Sen.Rockefeller admission Dems will legalize UNIVERSAL wiretapping? [View All]

[Leopolds Ghost]

Direct quote by Rockefeller on the need for, not just retroactive
immunity for, but legalization of universal warrantless wiretapping
on all US long distance networks, which is provided by this bill
according to Sen. Rockefeller:

I.e. wiretapping of all US citizens whose calls and e-mails are routed thru
long-distance telecom networks (all the major ones) and filtered for suspicious content,
as the NSA has been doing illegally under the Bush administration (and under the
Clinton administration before it, which is why Congressional Dems are so desperate to
legalize Bush's actions.)

The vote is on Tuesday, timed for the distraction of the Beltway primary.

There has been no discussion of this in the MSM OR on the blogs, infested as they are
with paid campaign operatives who are only just now beginning to understand how to
manipulate sites such as this one to benefit the interests of the party machine, which
has sought for 20 years to legalize the NSA activities at Fort Meade and elsewhere.

Here is the most important thread on DU, the one you guys are ignoring:

More news: Reid wants this bill so badly, Bush and Repubs are now threatening to OPPOSE
the bill if they don't get extra bennies thrown in. Because it is seen as a bill that Pelosi,
Reid and Rockefeller -- not to mention Clinton and Obama, who have not spoken out about it
on the campaign trail -- desperately want and "cannot afford" to not pass because "damaging
information" would surely come out if the claims were made in court, according to Rockefeller
and also according to posters right here on DU who have spoken out in favor of the bill.

So, On the Topic of Tuesday's Primaries: Where do your candidates stand
now that filibustering is no longer an option and both Dodd and Feingold
have rolled over?
