I don't care if it was illegal. If 911 happened again and a illegal action could have stopped it, I would be upset with the Government for not doing everything they can do to stop it. If the Government isn't listening to terrorist, then I got a problem with that.
Congress and Judges need to let the Executive Branch execute its job. And Congress should worry about coming up with a law that will protect our borders. North and South. And Judges need to stop taking God out of our public view. Who gave them the right to take my God given right away to exercise my religion?

'General Washington, you can not intercept enemy transmissions. That is illegal, Sir.' If you would have said that, they would have popped a cigarette in your mouth, lit it and then they would have shot you. And you would have deserved it.
