(from the article);"By contrast, the NSA draws on authority in the Patriot Act for its bulk collection of domestic phone records, and it gathers online records from U.S. Internet companies, in a program known as PRISM, under powers granted by Congress in the FISA Amendments Act. Those operations are overseen by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said in August that the committee has less information about,
and conducts less oversight of, intelligence-gathering that relies solely on presidential authority. (Emphaisis mine )

“Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee,”
That statement alone, is a kidney-busting laugher.
On second thought, it really isn’t very funny.
