Barak Obama opposed lawsuit immunity
Checks and balances, civil liberies (0)
I'm glad Barak Obama opposed lawsuit immunity for telecoms who help the government with its spying. Obama hasn't made himself out to be a big civil liberties guy, AFAIK, but if his opposition is rooted in the same source that would oppose re-instituting the Fairness Doctrine, I think we may have found a genuine liberal in the Democratic Party.
