How about a compromise...
How about a compromise...
The telecom companies: * Provide a reasonable over view of their warrentless wiretapping activities * Agree to cease such illegal wiretapping efforts going forward. * Agree to help fund (a few million each) and agree work with a independent committee (EFF?) for the protection of civil liberties in the digital era (think "ethics commitee")
In exchance we the people will cease existing lawsuits and agree not to go after damages. -- You have the right to protect your life, liberty, and property.
