I noticed that exchange yesterday, and in my mind (I'm playing the part of Alito) the answer went ..

SCHUMER: Let's just assume that it was found that the president's right to wiretap people, the way we're discussing it now in terms of the recent NSA revelations, was found constitutional. Would there be a different standard if, say, the president -- does that necessarily allow the president to then go ahead and go into people's homes here in America, American citizens, without a warrant?

Does the one necessarily lead to the other?

ALITO: No. Authority to wiretap without a warrant does not necessarily lead to physical entry onto private property without a warrant.

Alito's answer was better, because it explained a broader range of possible circumstances.
