I want the FBI, CIA and whoever else needs to, to eavesdrop on terrorists, but I also want the president to follow the law.
The FISA law says a warrant is required within 72 hours of a domestic wiretap. It gived the Presidents flexibility to act quickly if he needs to, but at the same times keep him accountable to follow the law. If Bush thinks 72 hours is not enough time I would support changing the law to give him more time, but Bush has opposed any changes to the law. Instead he simply chose to ignore the law.
Why have Republicans, who jumped on the tiniest violations by Clinton, given Bush a pass to violate any law he pleases?
If in 2008 we have President Hillary, do you expect the Republicans will let her do much warrantless wiretapping?
