Given your ignorance (the existing legal system allows monitoring to begin immediately and be authorized retroactively for precisely that reason), no one should pay any attention to your blitherings on the subject.
That is completely WORTHLESS and you know it.
What happens the first time FISA comes back against a retroactive action, and DENIES the warrant?
Instant Democrat OUTRAGE and spin.
Also, the FISA group of judges never denied warrants UNTIL Bush started asking for them. They are a compromised, biased group, and Bush is wise to go around them when the need arises.
Excuse me .. who the heck are you to call me "ignorant".
I'm supporting the NSA program - and I believe I understand how it works. And .. it's nothing like the FISA program which is for domestic uses - while the NSA program is for MILITARY USES. It's designed to catch terrorists calling into the USA - it's not designed to monitor your useless and mundane conversations with your Aunt Mabel.
You're the one with the "blitherings" - not me! LOL!!
