Congressional Immunity and the Pentagon Papers Precedent
The hosts discuss Senator Mike Gravel's precedent of reading the Pentagon Papers into the Congressional Record. They argue that Senators Ron Wyden and Mark Udall, who have hinted at NSA abuses, could use their constitutional immunity to reveal classified secrets on the Senate floor but have lacked the courage to do so, leaving the task to Edward Snowden.
