From The Hill:
A handful of Democratic senators are promoting legislation to repeal immunity for telecommunications firms that cooperated with the Bush administration’s warantless wiretapping program.
Congress voted last year to provide “retroactive immunity” to any companies participating in the controversial program. But with a more sizable majority, some Democrats are pushing to repeal that.
Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) will introduce the Retroactive Immunity Repeal Act, opening up some of the country’s largest firms to legal liabilities. Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) and Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) have signed on as co-sponsors.
