The arguments are complicated, but the bottom line is clear. As a consequence of prior decisions of the US Supreme Court, and lower courts including a Circuit Court of Appeals and the FISA Court itself, the President does have the very authority which he has claimed and used in this matter. Furthermore, prior Presidents had and used the same authority.

So anyone like John ("I don't have a clue") Dean and Senator Barbara ("box of rocks") Boxer, who are prattling about "impeachment," have to explain why they did not seek impeachment on the same grounds against every prior President, beginning with Jimmy Carter. Absent that explanation, they are rightly dismissed as bigoted hypocrites.

Did I miss anything?

I only wish the entire left would be presented with this fact. BUT we all know the MSM has and will continue to, completely ignore this fact. Liberal talk radio dismisses this out of hand and state that only BUSH is the one breaking the law. All other Presidents were not spying on Americans and when they did they followed the FISA courts requirements. What they won't tell you is that Clintoon did spy on Aldrich Ames (US Citizen, CIA employee turned traitor) without a court order. Clinton Claimed Authority to Order No-Warrant Searches
