Gonzales: Yes. The court authorized...
Hatch: interrupts and mentioning more cases.
Gonzales: The FISA court of review in that case acknowledged that these cases by other circuit courts tha tthe president does have authority. FISA said it cannot encroach on the president's constitutional powers.
Hatch: So people who say the president is violating the law are ignoring these cases?
Gonzales: I want to emphasize that we're overriding FISA. We use FISA - it's an important tool to fight the WOT. There will be discussion tod ay to amend FISA. I don't know that it will be amended. It exists even in peacetime. I think the procedures are reasonable in peacetime.
