Dodd: The Fight to Defend the Rule of Law Goes On
July 10, 2008

Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) released the following statement today after President Bush signed the FISA Amendments Act into law.

 

“With one stroke of his pen, the President has ensured that the truth behind his unprecedented domestic spying regime will never see the light of day. But the fight must go on. I will continue to stand up for the rule of law and the civil liberties of all Americans at every opportunity, and will strongly support efforts to challenge the constitutionality of this decision in the courts.  I can only hope that the courts will be able to correct the mistake the Congress and President have made.”
