120. Please cite me to the provision that provides criminal immunity.
Copy it and past to me in your next response. Give me the section number. Let me know where in the bill you find it.

Oh and who do you work for?

Me, I'm just someone that is able to think for myself and found all the FISA boohaha annoying so I decided to read the bill for myself. Imagine my surprise when I actually read the bill and found that it specifically protects to the 4th amendment rights of US citizens, that it even protects the 1st amendment rights and it requires that no monitoring be allowed of US citizens without full compliance with the 4th which requires the probable cause that some scholars claim is lacking in the bill. Imagine my surprise when the word immunity is only used to relate to other acts, that the concept of immunity cannot be found in the bill, that statutory defenses are outlined (defenses which are common sense defenses) but that they are not absolute and more importantly, no defense lies if the law has been broken as stated in the legislation (and is basic law in civil actions such as this).
