USA - ACLU Condemns Warrentless Wiretapping - Legislation to be Voted on Today?

Privacy be damned. News is now circulating that a "compromise" to telecom amnesty could be voted on today - and the American Civil Liberties Union has declared it "unconstitutional".
There's been a long and drawn out war over privacy in the United States. With AT&T allegedly putting wiretaps on millions of Americans without a warrant and congress trying to legalize the activity through retroactive immunity, the debates over the wiretapping have been virtually polarized.
The news follows a rather disturbing trend with the most recent activity occurring in Sweden.
