But the disclosure of Bush's eavesdropping program has revived the issue, and Congress appears to be growing restive about surrendering so much of its authority. Democrats and even key Republicans maintain Bush went too far -- and may have even violated the law -- by authorizing the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on U.S. citizens' overseas telephone calls in search of terrorist plots without obtaining warrants from a secret intelligence court.

I think Congress is getting restive in part because Americans are getting restive. Bush/Cheney have gotten a little too full of themselves. I suspect we will see some serious clashing in 2006.
