It's Time to Restore Civil Liberties Stolen by Bush.
It's Time to Restore Civil Liberties Stolen by Bush.
Urged by President Bush after the 9/11 attacks, Congress passed legislation in 2001 that greatly expanded domestic spying programs. Programs that failed to include even basic Constitutional safeguards.
Today, champions of Constitutional Rights in the Senate are using the PATRIOT ACT reauthorization process to reverse the worst abuses and have introduced the JUSTICE ACT.
The JUSTICE ACT would completely repeal the provision of the FISA Amendments Act intended to legally immunize big telecoms that illegally assisted in the National Security Agency's warrantless wiretapping program. It would restore protections for the privacy of library and bookstore records. And it would also add strong checks and balances to PATRIOT ACT provisions governing FISA orders, wiretaps and national security letters.
Our friends and allies at the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Campaign for Reader Privacy believe this is our best chance for getting reform this year. Please join them and us in supporting this bill.
