Just because he didn't advertise the fact doesn't mean it's illegal. The fact is the NSA is like a giant electronic communications vacuum cleaner, it sucks in everything, analyzes, and stores it.
Generally speaking they are prohibited from performing domestic surveillance, but if you use any of a number of keywords or are talking to someone overseas especially if the other party is under surveillance you can be monitored. Additionally their is a secret court, that issues warrants to NSA for certain domestic surveillance programs, however the NSA is given some latitude to preform surveillance for a limited time without first acquiring a warrant.

He didn't. The power to conduct warrantless searches for national security reasons is an inherent power of the presidency, as acknowledged by the courts and by all the previous administrations.
"The Department of Justice believes -- and the case law supports -- that the president has inherent authority to conduct warrantless physical searches for foreign intelligence purposes and that the president may, as he has done, delegate this authority to the attorney general," Clinton Deputy Atty General Jamie Gorelick, 1994.
So, about your so-called "fact", it is nothing more than a typical partisan lie.

What? Your remark isn't clever. How is that comparable to wiretapping of inner maximum conversations in construction, properties and medical doctors workplaces? the place there is an expectation of privateness? i'm against wiretapping for 2 significant motives: a million - that's against the regulation. The Fourth exchange protects your top to unfastened from seek of your individual or products withou in all probability reason or a warrant. 2 - that's wasteful. Why became into uncle sam wiretapping Martin Luther King Jr? Police and regulation Enforcement are human beings. you recognize what brokers will initiate doing, wiretapping political and social enemies - look into NIXON...

Who cares man? He's looking for terrorists, posing as average americans. I hate the man [Bush], but I also want to be safe from terrorists, and if you've got a better idea then run for president yourself. If I have to sacrifice a few liberties so that the government can catch the sneaky bastards, so be it. Only the guilty have something to hide. What, are you affraid they'll find your p orn collection? Stob crying about it and get a job. That, or move to france.

They all do and always have. J, Edgar Hoover was well known for wire tapping. It is only that Democrats are grasping at straws trying to find more things to pick on Bush about.
And with the patriot Act they do not have to get permission or give warnings

FACT! Same reason Clinton did it. It is only for special cases with plenty of oversight and it's been less than 20 times. Do you honestly think this is a new program? LOL.......

Sometimes, we must lose our freedoms for a greater cause (i.e. catching terrorist elements). Besides, this wire tapping is no longer a secret. It is now done in the day. Please understand!
But as for the illegality of it, I have to agree with you that he broke the law and outstepped his powers.
