Is that the newest slogan? "It must be happening because we can't see, welcome to America the new KGB". Give me a freakin break!

Read the Congressional Authorization. It gave the President all the authority he needed to protect America from any further attacks and then the Constitution gives him the obligation to protect America from enemies foreign and domestic. Neither one excludes spying on anyone that has their phone numbers in an Al-Qaeda communication device because if it did then put your head between your legs and kiss your a*s good-bye.

Most legal opinions support the President so it's not against the law, as you state, and if congress wanted to make it illegal to wire-tap people no matter what the circumstances then they can certainly pass a law.

"Is that the newest slogan?"

No, that would be "I didn't do it. You didn't see me. You can't prove anything."

"Read the Congressional Authorization."

I have, many times. It does not and can not trump the constitution, only an amendment can do that.

"Most legal opinions support the President."

Which legal opinions are you referring to?
