"Specter: Administration broke law

Hmmm.... that's not what Senator Spector said at all. He said that the administration may be in violation of the FISA laws, but that if those laws are in conflict with the President's constitutionally mandated powers in Article II, then no he didn't break any laws and FISA is unconstitutional.

So in short what Specter said was that; it appears Congress may have written a law that is against the law in 1978.

Nice of UPI to editorialize with their headline. Hoping no one reads the article, obviously.

Actually this is not the first I've heard of this. I wish I could remember who else but I'm fairly certain someone (guest on Fox) talked about how FISA was unnecessary and/or unconstitutional since the President has the necessary power under the Constitution. Which sounds to me (despite the Dems screaming about Presidential power grabbing) like a Congress trying to usurp Presidential powers.

The point is that he even went as far as to say that.
