If the specifics of this operation are to make sure the target is directly connected to known terrorism and we are at war with terrorists then what is the problem? It is not as if he has taken it upon himself to spy on anybody he chooses, There are strict guidelines and regular re evaluations of the program by legal authorities as well as regular reports to Congressional leaders.
You people seem to think the Constitution is a suicide document.
It is not as if he has taken it upon himself to spy on anybody he chooses,
Yes it is. He's just chosen not to spy on anyone except for those having international communications with "known" terror suspects. But without providing probable cause to a judicial oversight entity, who's to say the next guy won't chose to spy on someone else? The next guy might consider FR a terrorist organization and spy on us.
Frankly I'm shocked that FReepers would be so accepting of this just because a Republican is in office.
