Well by your logic than, Bush is in the right seeing as the only ones saying he violated the law are shrill liberals who want their power back.

I don't see how pointing out that suspension of habeas corpus is an action that takes two branches of government is judgemental, one way or the other.

I happen to think that the surveillance as described is outside of the bounds of FISA (some would label that "against the law"), but is not unconstitutional. At the same time, I am not comfortable with the broad notion of unchecked executive power, even in time of war. Does that make me a shrill liberal?

Yes, but it is within the bounds of the broad power given to him by Congress right after 9-11, some would call that legal (despite the fact that Daschle is now running around trying to claim that is not what they meant to do).
