Retroactive immunity: Victory! (Again!)

Well, the Dems somehow found their spine (again) and refused to pass retroactive immunity.


Locked in a standoff with the White House, House Democrats on Tuesday maintained their refusal to shield from civil lawsuits telecommunications companies that helped the government eavesdrop on their customers without a secret court's permission.


So for now the hope remains alive of some day uncovering the full extent of the Bush administration's lawbreaking.
