The prez has been saying all along that we are a nation of laws. So if the telecoms are following the laws and the program was legal, why on earth would they need immunity? To save legal fees? If the plantifs lose they could be made to pay the fees. Is the prez afraid of the jury system in our country? Heck all republicans are, they make it sound like only liberal wealth transfer types are selected for Juries. Nope the president wants the immunity for one reason and one reason only, and that is to protect his nasty A$$ from having the truth about his program being exposed in a public forum.

Comment by Fred — March 13, 2008 @ 2:02 pm I have found that locating honorable Republicans who truly have the best interests of all people at the top of their lists is a difficult task, indeed. Republicans who don't follow the party ideology rather tightly are subject to being squeezed out. In my lifetime, I have supported two Republicans enthusiastically -- and both were governors of Washington State, my original home. And those would be Dan Evans and John Spellman. Dan Evans was such a foe of capital punishment that no one was executed in the state during his tenure, and Spellman was a proud, unabashed environmentalist where his opponent (Democrat Dixy Lee Ray) was not. I have not found a Republican presidential candidate who I could support, though. Ford probably came closest in my lifetime. I have never in my life encountered one single republican that I would vote for.
