FISA Moves Into Next Week
The Politico reports that House Democrats are planning to send a modified bill amending the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) back to the Senate. "The first title of the modified bill is expected to reflect proposed compromises already reached with Senate negotiators regarding the surveillance program. But the second seems sure to reflect continued differences over liability for telecommunications companies that cooperated with the surveillance program the president approved in the wake of 9/11." The House still may resist the push to accept the Senate bill, S.2248, the FISA Amendments Act.
