Dodd: We passed the largest invasion of privacy in history.

I just got off a conference call with Chris Dodd. Not surprisingly, he said he was "disappointed" by the outcome of the votes today. He said, "We’ve just sanctioned the single largest invasion of privacy in American history."

More after the jump...

Dodd clearly sees most of his caucus as against him as he was only able to pick up 20-30 votes for his amendments and against cloture. He explains the reasoning Democrats have to vote for retroactive immunity in stark terms:

"Those who are advocating this notion that you have to give up liberties in order to be more secure are apparently prevailing."

Lieberman was a great example of that and of course there are many more examples.
