Per Christy Harvey just now on Thom Hartmann:
Democrats give concessions up, but are not getting much in return. The New York Times has an editorial on this. The bill doesn't just extend the bill from last August, it goes further. It gives immunity to the telecoms and broadens the authority of the federal government.
They're not voting on this until tomorrow, so it's not too late to call your Congressperson.
Note from Paddy- some further background here including links to numbers for your congresscritters.
