that's not true . They will use the FISA courts just as they always have , before gwbs power grab .

They can still do what they must without going to the court at first, but in a certain length of time they must appear at
the court to provide proof that this was necessary . Simple

It is called the rule of law . We either live by the rule of law or we are lawless - like other rogue nations .

How does what the House did this week effect the ability of Fed gov't wiretapping? They STILL can wiretap - just get a court order before or after. As for the tele companies who go along with wiretapping WITHOUT a court order, they will have to take their chances...the gov't can continue to protect these tele companies by obtaining a court order - again, BEFORE or AFTER the wiretap takes place.

This issue was so "critical" to the nation that The Decider wouldn't agree to an extension of time for the House to debate and once the House announced their decision, he went ahead with plans to fly to Africa. Give me a break! He wouldn't consider staying in town to hammer out an agreement? With The Decider it's always my way or the highway. Where's the leadership??

And right after 9/11 Congress offered to change FISA and James Baker testifed under oath in front of Congress and on behalf of the Bush administration that FISA did not have to be updated.
