ACLU of Northern CA

Chief Judge Vaughn Walker of the Northern District of California issued a ruling blasting key arguments made by supporters of telecom immunity last week.

The lengthy opinion cuts through many common misconceptions and makes clear that the Senate is set to vote on telecom immunity based on misinformed arguments.

The FISA bill is scheduled for a vote tomorrow, Tuesday, July 8. Contact your Senators today and urge them to vote against the FISA bill.
