Thank you for the summation. Tried to read FISA last night and got bleary eyed. This will be passed around.
I read the link you posted; amazing stuff!
LOL. That's what I get for not checking your inforums before posting :-)
I would not be trusting a Clinton in office with this type of spying. No way.
And I too had a lot of problems with what Clinton did and included some of his activities in the post I made only to show the hypocrisy of the left; they had NO problems with the spying when it was a Democrat president.

It's permitted by 50 USC 1802, which is posted on several threads here on FR.
bttt
Your post deserves its own thread. I have not heard one politician with enough brains to cite this code, so the general public doesn't know what to believe. All they hear is Dims spewing "Broke the law! Broke the law!" and Repubs responding "Did not! Did not!" Cite the law, you morons! Use your heads!
OK, I'll give it a thread. Let's see what happens. I'm even gonna' put it in breaking news.
When Harry Reid says "President Bush broke the law!!!" he insinuates that Bush did something illegal and implies that it was for some personal gain.
I appreciate your citation of 50 USC 1802 but even if the action of our president *was* illegal, most people would consider it acceptable if it was done to protect our citizens or nation.
I think that this is another example where Bush is in the right, and rather than immediately cite 50 USC 1802, he is letting the Democrats step into the deep doo doo a bit further before he drops it on them.
The fact they continually overshoot the target is doing them more damage than if they simply shut up and did nothing.
