Nope. The issue is the boundary of the President's power to act as CinC. No legislation passed by Congress can impinge on the President's inherent power granted exclusively to the President by the Constitution which is the Supreme Law of the Land. The President asserts that he has acted in a manner consistent with his power as CinC to protect the homeland. The final resolution to the question will most probably have to be decided by the USSC, which body is the ultimate arbiter of the meaning of the Constitution. The legal authorities are split on the issue with prominent legal experts on both sides... J.

"You are rabid and out of control" Ouch. "This will be the last post to you." So be it. I enjoyed the exchange while it lasted. "FISA is the program that was put in place." Prior top 9-11 and the war on terror. "GW didn't use it" He is acting as CinC to protect Americans. His number one priority. "For you the checks and balances of our legal system are movable lines to suit your level of fear" lol. I have made my position as clear as I can. He has the authority as CinC. Hopefully you will accept the court decisions that will settle it. And I am not a very fearful person. I do fear for our country in the sense that there are many that will attack us for protecting ourselves. Maybe you are one of them. Have a good one.
