            <title>FISA &quot;Compromise&quot;</title>
            <description>I had sent in a letter asking Barack to vote NO on the FISA law - specifically due to the telecom immunity ammendment.  I just got the response - and the main reason seems to be to &quot;compromise&quot; (with who? the Bush administration?).  I say the compromise is between Barack and the Constitution.  From Article 1, Section 9, &quot;Limits on Congress&quot;:  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So Barack is compromising his duties to the Constitution (which he has pledged to support as a member of Congress) and in the same breath makes a &quot;firm pledge&quot; to us that he really will follow the rules.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think that Barack is making nice with some impotent democrats instead of looking to the public for support.</description>
