What I don't understand is why anyone would want to take the authority away from the President to protect us all and give that ultimate authority to some judge who says yes or no.

Because that's what the Constitution says. There's a reason we don't grant absolute power to the President.

So where was all this "the President needs to wiretap everyone" hype when Clinton was in office and the World Trade Center was first attacked?

If Clinton had been more serious about counterterrorism, we probably would not have had a second World Trade Center attack.

Does that answer your question?
