He's got a point.... warrantless wiretapping is extraconstitutional, and since there is no way to find out if any of us have been tapped, there is no way to determine if you have standing or not.

Preferably, though -- since this smacks more of grandstanding by an out-of-work lawyer than anything else -- I would prefer to see Congress and the Senate (backed by the courts) put Messr. Bush back into his place.

Not that I worry about Bush. I worry about the precedent. Hillary with this sort of power simply will never relinquish her Presidency. Period.

I have heard this argument before about precedent and what a future pres. would do with it. Bill and Hillary engaged in this activity for eight years already. You are assuming that previous administrations didn't do it because it was against the law. Don't be so naive.
