Obama to Vote for FISA Bill
Today, Barack Obama is going to vote for the FISA bill he swore to filibuster when he needed the support of the far left.
The Senate is finally expected to wrap up the bill updating the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act today, which includes the controversial provision of retroactive immunity for telecom companies facing lawsuit. While the bill splits Democrats, it’s expected to pass with united Republican support.�
Obama will be back for today’s vote and has said he’ll support final passage.
The voting starts approximately 11:15 am ET, and everything on FISA should be wrapped up by 12:30 pm ET or so.
The Daily Kos Kooks are already gearing up for a serious tantrum, of course: Daily Kos: F*** the Democrats!
F*** Reid, F*** Pelosi, F*** Hoyer, F***Rockefeller, and , yes, F*** Obama. F*** ‘em all!
