Ex Post Facto FISA + Obama presidency = no retroactive immunity
Obama voted for the FISA Bill which keeps in place the original protections for domestic communications but gives retroactive immunity to telecoms who colluded with the Bush Administration's illegal spying on Americans.
When Obama is President, he could direct the DoJ to file a suit claiming pointing out that such Ex Post Facto legislation is blatantly unconstitutional allowing suits to move forward.
I mean, why not?
UPDATE: Russ Feingold doesn't see why not.
