Who? I want names. A bunch of people doesn't tell me a thing. The Judiciary has never had oversight on the execution of a war and if the Congress wants them to then they have the authority to make that law and pass the buck if they want to. That would be Congressional oversight in the usual pass the buck moment.
Don't give the President a blank check if you don't want him to use it.

"Who? I want names."

So as long as a government spys on it's citizens in secret there is no violation? Did you ever work for the KGB?

"The Judiciary has never had oversight on the execution of a war and if the Congress wants them to then they have the authority to make that law and pass the buck if they want to."

The Congress is the only branch that can declare war and they have not. If you have a link to a congressional declaration of war, please do post it.

"Don't give the President a blank check if you don't want him to use it."

The Congress can not give the president the power to violate law. They can change law to give him powers he might not otherwise have, but they can not give a "blank check" to bypass constitutional limits.
