Yeah, I think "not-a-whole-dek" doesn't understand that one cannot wiretap an "association" or "corporation" without wiretapping the people in it.

I suppose he, like all liberals, thinks corporations are self-animating forces with no actual humans doing things.

In order to justify a warrantless surveillance under FISA, the argument boils down to converting a person from "United States person" as defined in subsection (i) to being a "Foreign power" as defined in either (a)(1), (2) or (3).

I don't buy that argument, and believe the power for the warrantless surveillance under discussion will be found elsewhere.

Of course, your mileage may vary.

According to FISA (which you still refuse to read the actual subclauses of the law) if an association cannot be wiretapped without a warrant if an American citizen will be included in that wiretap. Please, please, please, please, please read the law before commenting on it!
