Really good post here MNJ
Absolutely right !
They are afraid of Mccain because he is tri-polar or quadruple polar or anything beyond bi-polar he is nutzo-plus. Anyone that has ever worked with a person like this stays clear of confrontation because you never know when they will go postal and you are always aware that they may be "packing". Bottom line is it would be nice to be able to enjoy another Special report with Brit Hume, without worrying if Direct Tv has service to Heaven. I hope you get my drift. I believe that we have to beat the Hell out of the Pubbies to keep Mccain from trying to discipline himself by punishing everyone.
Yeah but in Key West with half the population gay, he'd be right at home.

The path to FISA has two branches, political and judicial.
The government had long maintained that it had extensive discretion to conduct wiretapping or physical searches in order to protect national security. In Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347 (1967), the Supreme Court acknowledged that the President had claimed special authority for warrantless surveillance in national security investigations, and explicitly declined to extend its holding to cases "involving the national security." Id. at 358 n. 23. Similarly, Congress in Title III stated that "nothing in Title III shall . . . be deemed to limit the constitutional power of the President to take such measures as he deems necessary to protect the United States against the overthrow of the Government by force or other unlawful means, or against any other clear and present danger to the structure or existence of the Government."
On the political front, such executive branch activities, charitably described as "some degree of domestic overreaching of intelligence into domestic areas," had long been tolerated. Staff of House Permanent Select Comm. on Intelligence, 104th Cong., Staff Study, IC21: Intelligence Community in the 21st Century at 272 (comm. print 1996).
But in the 1970s the political winds changed. The 1975-76 Church Committee hearings documented extraordinary federal government abuse of surveillance powers. Examples included the the NSA's Operation Shamrock and Operation Minaret, CIA's Operation CHAOS, the FBI's COINTELPRO domestic harassment of dissenters and anti-war protesters that included illegal wiretapping, and the illegal burglaries of the Nixon White House "plumbers."
The Church Committee Report found that covert action had been excessive, had circumvented the democratic process, and had violated the Constitution. It concluded that Congress needed to prescribe rules for intelligence activities.
