Excellent work by Stoller, getting this statement from the Foster campaign:
[FOSTER] Nobody is above the law and telecom companies who engaged in illegal surveillance should be held accountable, not given retroactive immunity. I flatly oppose giving these companies an out for cooperating with Alberto Gonzalez on short-circuiting the FISA courts and the rule of law."
Bill Foster, Democratic Candidate in IL-14 March 8th Special Election
So, when you make your calls to the Blue Dog traitors on FISA, be sure you stress that point.
After all, their primary challengers will be making the same point, and as Democrats, the Blue Dogs, assholes though they are, at least deserve a head's up.
NOTE I wish I could find evidence that Foster ran on this issue -- that would be another Harris Wofford for the good guys in this context -- but I can't. Readers?
