Democrats Surrender to Fear by Approving Warrantless Surveillance Authority to the White House RealAudio Interview with Derek Slater, activism coordinator with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, conducted by Scott Harris As their August recess approached, the Democratic-controlled House and Senate bowed to White House pressure and approved legislation that greatly expanded the power of the president to conduct warrantless surveillance. Despite opposition to the bill from the Democratic Party leadership, 41 House Democrats joined 186 Republicans to approve the measure. In the Senate, Joe Lieberman and 16 Democrats voted for the Republican plan that gives the director of national intelligence and attorney general the power to bypass the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and authorize the wiretapping of e-mails and phone calls of foreign-based terrorist suspects in communication routed through the U.S. or with a U.S. citizen. Critics of the bill say that the White House skillfully employed unsubstantiated intelligence reports that pointed to a possible future terrorist attack to pressure Congress to quickly approve the bill. While the measure sunsets in six months, civil liberties advocates were angered by the apparent capitulation of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for not more vigorously opposing the president's use of fear to amass more unilateral power. Between The Lines' Scott Harris spoke with Derek Slater, activism coordinator with the Electronic Frontier Foundation. He assesses the surveillance bill's effect on the erosion of civil liberties, and the grassroots campaign to pressure Congress to rewrite the bill and rein in runaway executive power.
