[Commentary] Democratic cynicism on national security reached new heights with a House vote last Friday that deserves more public scrutiny. Lawmakers approved a bill that not only fails to provide liability protection for phone companies that assisted the government after 9/11 but actually greases the skids for trial lawyers. This exercise shows that the Democratic left that runs the House is a danger to American security. Senate Democrats would be doing their party a favor by killing this bill before voters figure out they really believe this stuff.
