Why shouldn't a President be required to get court approval for eavesdropping on a private citizen<?i>... talking to a foreign terrorist? You forgot that part of the question. To say we have a constitutional right to secret communications with a foreign enemy involved in an effort to attack the US - no, I don't think so.

<< "Why shouldn't a President be required to get court approval for eavesdropping on a private citizen....what would be the rationale against it?" >> Since FISA was created, every President has asserted their inherent power under the Constitution to engage in warrantless searches. Both Clinton & Carter engaged in warrantless searches against private citizens when the country was not at war. There was no hysteria in the MSM nor by any DNC member over either case. Every time the Presidential use of warrantless searches went before a court, the courts always sided with the President. Message 22296037
