that the president had inherent authority under the Constitution to order warrantless domestic spying.

Can you please point me to the Article, Section, and Paragraph of the Constitution which enumerates that authority Mr. President?

I'll wait, but not too long. 30 minutes should be sufficient.

Thanks in advance.

A. The Congress authorized the President as Commander in Chief to use all necessary measures in the War on Terrorism (enacted shortly after 9/11) to “engage and defeat” those terrorists who would act against this country.

B. - It was not Domestic wiretapping - unless you want to extend that protection to those inside the country receiving a phone call from outside the country where the outside country line has links to terrorists.

Other than that - what’s the problem?
(And read my other post.)

good point. He doesn’t have that authority. his insistence on saying he does makes him look like the sort of dictator that the Libs say he is.

I can’t wait for a real Conservative to be president—not this cockamamied authoritarian who passes for a Republican.
