 Dodd Stands Tall Senate Majority Leader Reed (D. NV) caved in to the Bush Administration and the large telecoms by handing them retroactive immunity for domestic spying in his proposed FISA bill. One senator stood in the door and said, "not on my watch". That man is Chris Dodd. "For the last six years, our largest telecom companies have been spying on their own American customers," said Senator Christopher Dodd of Connecticut. He returned to Washington from the campaign trail in Iowa vowing to filibuster the FISA bill so long as it contained immunity to the telecoms for their participation in warrantless spying by the Bush Administration. The mere threat was enough to compel Reed to stand down. Link. Oh, how I wish Obama and H. Clinton possessed those stones. Booyah Senator Dodd! 12/19/2007. Add Comment Permalink
