Right wingers still do not get it. Their new spin in the surveillance wars is whether Bush had the authority as commander in chief to order the NSA to copnduct surveillance, without going through the FISA motions. Their answer being yes, of course.
Senator Feingold has simply pointed out that 1) It's illegal. The President is not above the law (remember Nixon), and 2) If this is allowed to become precedent, what happens in the future when law is again ignored.
Our founding fathers would be aghast at the right's willingness to acquiesce to everything this administration wants.
Give away some of my rights to feel safer, you betcha they bray in unision. Eventually there will be none.
Feingold has been the only person to stand up to the Bush dictatorship...his fellow Dems are cowards.
