今天，在大膽攻擊在公民自由和私密權，參議院通過了違犯第四個校正并且消滅所有意味深長的角色為政府監視司法失察的一個違反憲法的國內暗中偵察的法案。 FISA校正行動2008年由表決69到28批准和預計短期簽字入法律由布什總統。 這張票據根本上合法化在2005年12月顯露的總統的不合法的warrantless竊聽節目在紐約時代週刊以前。

「再次，國會眨眼睛并且屈服了到總統的恐懼mongering。 以今天表決，政府在美國人給了擴展它的力量的綠燈暗中偵察，并且跑不人道在憲法」， D.說安東尼。 Romero，美國公民自由聯合的執行董事。 「這立法將給對無辜的沒有保證的美國人的政府自由自在和未經檢查的通入』國際通信。 這是不僅違反憲法，但绝對非美國式的」。

FISA校正行動通過允許外國情報機構監視法院(國庫)回顧仅常規手續幾乎取出內臟政府監視失察為暗中偵察而不是各自的保證。 國庫不會告訴任何具體關於誰實際上將被竊聽，從而咬邊任何意味深長的角色為法院和違犯第四個校正的保護反對不合情理的查尋和奪取。

票據更加進一步通過批准政府繼續監視節目使法院回顧平凡，在政府的一般暗中偵察的規程是由國庫以後找到的不足或違反憲法。 政府有當局竊聽通過整個上訴，然後保留并且使用什麼信息同時被會集了。 供應被譽為主要「讓步」由票據的擁護者要求調查由監督暗中偵察的活動的四個代辦處總檢查員。 但不坐司法制度或情報委員會的議員不會被保證對代辦處的通入』報告。

票據根本上准予绝對追溯自免疫力通過保證法案解雇促進總統的warrantless竊聽節目在過去七年期間即將發生反對那些公司的電信公司。 The test for the companies’ right to immunity is not whether the government certifications they acted on were actually legal – only whether they were issued. Because it is public knowledge that certifications were issued, all of the pending cases will be summarily dismissed. This means Americans may never learn the truth about what the companies and the government did with our private communications. 

“With one vote, Congress has strengthened the executive branch, weakened the judiciary and rendered itself irrelevant,” said Caroline Fredrickson, Director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office. “This bill – soon to be law – is a constitutional nightmare. Americans should know that if this legislation is enacted and upheld, what they say on international phone calls or emails is no longer private. The government can listen in without having a specific reason to do so. Our rights as Americans have been curtailed and our privacy can no longer be assumed.”

In advance of the president’s signature, the ACLU announced its plan to challenge the new law in court.

“This fight is not over. We intend to challenge this bill as soon as President Bush signs it into law,” said Jameel Jaffer, Director of the ACLU National Security Project. “The bill allows the warrantless and dragnet surveillance of Americans’ international telephone and email communications. It plainly violates the Fourth Amendment.”
