THANK YOU, ACLU

Far too many of our Democratic Senators failed us and failed the Constitution.

UPDATE: ACLU Files Lawsuit Challenging New Spying Law
July 10, 2008: 03:31 PM EST

WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- With President Bush's signature still drying on a new law that expands the government's warrantless surveillance program, the American Civil Liberties Union is headed to court with a legal challenge.

The ACLU filed a lawsuit Thursday in New York federal court seeking to block the law, which gives legal immunity to the telecommunications companies that allegedly assisted the National Security Agency with its warrantless wiretapping program after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The ACLU filed the legal challenge on behalf of a group of attorneys and groups involved with human rights, labor, the law and the media. They said their work, which relies on confidential communications, will be compromised by the law.
