No, it doesn't. As much as you would like to believe it, a person does not stop being a US person because they are part of an association. Read this part carefully:

(B) there is no substantial likelihood that the surveillance will acquire the contents of any communication TO WHICH A UNITED STATES PERSON IS A PARTY; and

If a United States person is a party, at all, it means you cannot get a warentless wiretap. That is the LAW. I have cited it repeatedly. There is no part of the law that reads "Except in cases when that person is part of an association." If there is, please post it.

Alas, Section 1801, (the portion of the statute that defines "United States Person") disagrees with you.

I disagree with your interpretation, but thanx for hanging in while taking shots from the usual idiots.

The fact that you stayed while some serious posters respond to your viewpoint provided a good educational thread, unlike the ones which are taken over by hair-triggered wannabe gatekeepers.
