Senate OKs new rules on eavesdropping

WASHINGTON - The Senate on Tuesday approved new rules for government eavesdropping on phone calls and e-mails, giving the White House much of the latitude it wanted and granting legal immunity to telecommunications companies that helped in the snooping after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Now it goes back to the House.
Any chance House Dems will show some spine?
... who knows, maybe that was the plan all along: Senate Dems pass odious bill, House Dems repudiate it. Senate Dems get to look "statesman-like" and blame their lower house brethren for holding up critical legislation... yeah, I guess this is possible, but it seems unlikely.
If the House in fact does repudiate this odious bill, I promise I'll applaud!
Stop the madness!
