It's not a matter of whether the Telecoms did anything illegal or not. Much like the rest of politics, the illusion of doing something illegal is just as bad. Providing immunity doesn't lay blame. Arguing "if they didn't do anything wrong, they don't need immunity" is tantamount to saying, "If you didn't commit a crime, why care if the government looks at your stuff?"

I support this bill...but boiled down, it's not "free" money. It's money already paid to the government. In a sense, you're getting a refund. I'd rather see a tax cut.

What I don't understand about abortion is how a killing a fetus once it has been born is considered murder, when one second ago, killing the fetus is considered a medical procedure.
