123. Did he vote?
Could you please stop overreacting?

"It does, however, grant retroactive immunity, and I will work in the Senate to remove this provision so that we can seek full accountability for past offenses. But this compromise guarantees a thorough review by the Inspectors General of our national security agencies to determine what took place in the past, and ensures that there will be accountability going forward. By demanding oversight and accountability, a grassroots movement of Americans has helped yield a bill that is far better than the Protect America Act."

There it is in plain English. He supports the compromise but not the immunity. At least wait until the vote is cast before getting worked up. If he votes for a bill that includes immunity, I will join you in your anger, but at this time, you and many others, especially staunch Hillary supporters, are getting worked up over a headline.
