The spying DID brake the law..
an UNCONSTITUTIONAL law, thus no crime was committed.
Congress can't pass a valid law restricting the Presidents constitutionally granted powers, any more than it can pass a law repealing the bill of rights, it takes a constitutional amendment to do either.
And the President can violate an unconstitutional law the same way anyone else can. He can do it, and take his chances.
In this case, his "taking chances" saved us from terrorist attacks. If he had gotten a bill in Congress introduced to limit the scope of FISA, the debate would have revealed the methods of gathering intelligence, and the Brooklyn Bridge and who knows what else would have been destroyed.
Let them try to prosecute him or impeach him for violating a law by conduct that was always within a President's rights.
That is spelled ARM. Sorry about that.
Specter will now be the fill in the blank RINO for liberal MSM pundits and commentators along side fellow Congressional libs who are on unwatchable MSM programs.
Specter is a media whore who turns tricks every Sunday morning.
some one reminded him of those pesky ....FBI files that the Dems have...
Specter needs to read the Constitution.
The President does not need Congressional approval nor court approval to listen to foreign telephone calls.
Period, end of story.
I can't wait for some eye-opening testimony in these hearings about just what kind of conversations they are picking up in this surveillance program. The Senators are going to look like jackasses for calling this "domestic spying" when the DOJ and NSA show them just how many Al Qaeda sympathizers and operatives are here in the U.S. and how few of them are even legal resident aliens. There aren't enough judges on the FISA court to handle all the wiretap requests.
And another thing - is an illegal alien in the U.S. entitled to any Fourth Amendment or FISA protection?
Is Scotty really saying Congress never intended the Commander in Chief to authorize electronic surveillance of the enemy? How absolutely silly.
If his legal argument is that an act isn't allowed if it isn't mentioned in the law, then all his arguments in favor of abortion just vaporized.
Yes indeed. Perhaps the banker boys, who own and operate government, keep ole' magic bullet around because he does not seem to mind making a complete fool of himself whenever they need that kind of distraction.
All anyone needs to know about Arlen Specter is that as a junior attorney on the Warren Commission when his elders hit a wall trying to explain one gunman, he invented the single-bullet theory.
He was full of it then and he's full of it now.
Dear Senator,I am not voting for you for President.as you are a traitor!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think we should all let Arlen know how we feel about President Bush's spying on terrorists program. Spying instead of dying. Priceless. On the other hand, I think Dems R Losers (posted above) could be right. The hearings will most likely backfire on the anti-American, anti-Bush, anti-military, living in a pre-9/11 world liberals.

Can Specter read? He probably thinks the Constitution is a Sunday paper. What a moron.
Ok, I've had it with some of these so-called Republicans. I'm sick of it up to HERE with the turncoats, wannabes, and has-beens who don't care what happens to this country. May they all rot in a very hot place, which, I believe is located on the West Coast just outside of Los Angeles.
Hope all the FReepers who defended the President and Santorum for backing this RINO just because he was the pub incumbent (the so-called 11th commandment) are happy now.
Pffft!
FMCDH(BITS)
Hope W likes the guy he put in office.
This is one correct "Bushes Fault" accusation.

Exactly, and with SCOTUS moving towards constructionist, we may see some correction if these issues are moved to the Court.
