Dems Cave on Immunity for Warrantless Wiretapping

Well slap my butt and call me Charlie, the Democratic leadership has caved. Looks like firms will get immunity after all against lawsuits by paranoid schizophrenics who sue based on nothing more than a fear the government might hypothetically be listening in on their conversations with their cousin in the Taliban. They're calling it "conditional immunity", but since all the instances of "warrantless wiretapping" are covered by the conditional, it might as well be blanket immunity.

This is a big deal. Time to break out Hammer, sit back, and watch the nutroots freak out with Nazi Germany comparisons!
