It's highly illegal to spy on Americans without a warrant. Bush had 72 hours in every case to get a FISA warrant. It would have been very easy to do, but he didn't want to leave a papertrail for some reason. You can guess why. Just look at what they did to Valerie Plame. The RNC folks are out there lying that Clinton did the same thing. He didn't. He always got his FISA warrants and notified congress. Bush is the only crook in this matter since Nixon. Reason why this is so crucial? What if a president wants to pass a trillion dollar porker pill in congress but one honest congressman is stopping him? So the prez spies on him (without a warrant) finds out he has a mistress in Indiana, then can blackmail him with that into changing his vote. The result, the President has ultimate power, the power of a king. Above the law and un-American as hell. And US citizens get cheated out of their democracy. As for spying on potential terrorists, everyone agrees that's fine, and so does the FISA court. They'd bend over backwards to hand out warrants for that kind of spying.
