Let's say this bill passes and becomes law but in the future is found to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Would that then mean that the telecoms lose the immunity that would have been provided?

Hard to argue with that
Simple and unassailable. Well done.

EMERGENCY ACTION NEEDED!
Friends,
We had another message planned for this morning, but now we need URGENT ACTION on another issue. A vote is about to happen on a so-called FISA and telecom immunity compromise. The news is not good for the Fourth Amendment....
