After weeks of wrangling, positioning, and debate, the Congress is ready to vote on the RESTORE Act, a measure to improve the FISA law that corrects some of the mistakes of a similar bill from August. So far, it's been a bit of a disaster.

In the House, childish GOP games forced Dems to pull the bill from the floor.

And in the Senate, leaders struck a deal with the White House to allow telecom immunity.

It's painful to watch this unfold, isn't it?
