Dodd to Dem Leadership: No Immunity for Telecom Companies
posted by Matt Browner-Hamlin, Campaign Blogger on October 16, 2007 - 4:01pm


Today Senator Dodd released the following statement calling on Democratic Leadership to ensure that telecommunications companies that have violated the law and consumer privacy are not given immunity.

"Today's report that Verizon provided the Bush Administration with personal information of American citizens absent judicial authorization is deeply troubling. We must be told the full extent of Verizon's activities and what other private information they have provided to the Bush Administration.

"More troubling still is that the United States Senate would sanction those telecommunications companies that have violated the law and the privacy of our citizenry, enabling this Administration's assault on the Constitution."
