The NSA is tasked with keeping tabs on overseas spooking, The FBI is taksed with domestic investigations. The reasons for this are to prevent avbuses (that have happend int eh past)

Since the FISA law came into effect(1979) there have been over 18700 warrents issued for domestic spying. In that whole time only 4 were rejected and those 4 were in 200. Of those 4, 2 were later granted after the Gov't changed some of the details on teh request.

The domestic spying laws allow for spying in urgent cases without a warrent for 72 hours than a warrent must be obtained. Obtaining a warrent is usually quick and painless and not an problem (see above approval rate)

The FBI had many of the 9/11 folks under watch. They failed to put the big picture together.

The bottom line is that the President broke the law! For a reason that was not justified as the FBI has always done domestic spying.

This is another incident of the Presidents attempts to grab and abuse power. He's got to go!
