The more they harp on this, the more the media will boost the president's poll numbers. The story broke last week, and his approval rating hit 50% at Rasmussen.

Americans - even the majority who do not use blogs or other web news and opinion sources as part of their current events information - will eventually understand the reality of Article II of the Constitution. They will understand the presidential duty to defend the nation by gathering foreign intelligence even if it involves citizens. They will learn about Carter, Reagan, and Clinton and how those presidents tapped communications links and how Clinton even broke into a citizen's residence to seize documents and other proof of spying, without a warrant!

Congress has approval ratings half that of the president (heh!). People do not want Congress to control foreign affairs (it's too slow and leaky) and will resent its interference in the Constituionally-mandated duties of the president. The more vocal Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi become, the more the citizens will realize their criticisms are not made to protect our rights. More and more Americans will see that Democrats simply want to gain power and are willing to do anything to get it, even weakening the country and exposing it to more attacks!

Another Rovian Storm, swamping the contemporary liberal-leftist dinghy of the Democrat Party. Yes.
