He's just a FOOL!!!
Absolutely delicious. What a fool - a dangerous fool.
Carter fails to mention that he was active in the democrat party in the when it was the party of the KKK.

"The Truong case, however, involved surveillance that began in 1977, before the enactment of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which established a secret court for granting foreign intelligence warrants.
Democrats and some Republicans in Congress say FISA guidelines, approved in 1978 when Mr. Carter was president, are the only way the president may conduct surveillance on U.S. soil.
Administration officials say the president has constitutional authority to conduct surveillance without warrants in the name of national security. The only way Congress could legitimately curtail that authority, they argue, is through an amendment to the Constitution. "
Exactly, that "things are different because of FISA" is a load of crap. The Congress can not pass a law that overrules the Constitution. If there is a conflict the Constitution wins every time.
Watching him dig a deeper hole into oblivion can be a good spectator sport.
US v. Truong set the precedent for this. Since then, three other Circuit Courts have reached the same conclusion (including the 9th). Even the FIS Court of Review has said that FISA cannot encroach upon the "inherent authority" of the President.
Looks like the Dems will have to find a new spokesman. BWAHAHAHAHA!
Maybe a tin (lead) foil hat woulda helped?
I'm sure Jimmy Carter will go on Larry King's show and explain all of this.
In 1976, after living in the United States for more than a decade, Vietnamese citizen David Truong met Dung Krall, a Vietnamese-American wife of an American Naval Officer who had many contacts among Vietnamese living in Paris. [FN473] Truong persuaded Krall to carry packages for him to the Vietnamese in Paris at the time of the 1977 Paris negotiations between North Vietnam and the United States. [FN474] The packages contained copies of U.S. diplomatic cables and other classified papers dealing with Southeast Asia. [FN475] Truong obtained the materials from Ronald Humphrey, an employee of the United States Information Agency, who *62 surreptitiously copied, removed classification markings, and delivered the stolen materials to Truong. [FN476] Humphrey later stated that his motive was to improve United States/North Vietnam relations so that he could be reunited with a woman imprisoned by the North Vietnamese government. [FN477]Krall, however, was a CIA and FBI informant. [FN478] After the intelligence agencies first learned from Krall that Truong was transmitting classified documents to Paris, President Carter and Attorney General Bell authorized warrantless physical searches of the packages. [FN479] After presenting the packages Truong had given her to the FBI for inspection, copying and approval, Krall was permitted to carry the documents to Paris. [FN480] During this time the FBI monitored Truong and Humphrey closely, from approximately September, 1976, until January 31, 1978. [FN481]
The package searches led to the secret installation of closed-circuit television equipment in Humphrey's government office, the placement of a wiretap on Truong's telephone, and a microphone bugging device in Truong's apartment. [FN482] Truong's phone was tapped and his apartment was bugged from May 1977 to January 1978. [FN483] The telephone interception continued for 268 days; nearly every conversation was monitored and virtually all were taped. [FN484] The eavesdropping device was operative for approximately 255 days and it ran continuously. [FN485] The FBI never sought or obtained court authorization for the installation and maintenance of the telephone tap or the bug. [FN486]
After their indictment, Truong and Humphrey moved to suppress the evidence obtained by the government without a warrant. [FN487] Following the rationale of the decisions in Brown [FN488] and Butenko, [FN489] the District Court determined that because the surveillance was "for the *63 primary, or even sole, purpose of foreign intelligence gathering," [FN490] a foreign intelligence exception to the warrant requirement applied. [FN491] On the basis of this standard, the Court upheld most of the electronic surveillance, but agreed to suppress a portion that had been collected after the investigation shifted its focus from intelligence gathering to criminal prosecution. [FN492]
The Court independently considered the constitutionality of the searches of packages Truong sent to Paris with Krall. [FN493] A letter and package searched with executive authorization but without a warrant before the date at which the surveillance became, in the Court's view, criminal in nature, were treated as governed by the foreign intelligence warrant exception. [FN494]
According to the court, another package, which was searched without executive authorization or a warrant, was not covered by the foreign intelligence exception to the warrant requirement, but was nonetheless constitutional because Truong had no reasonable expectation of privacy in the package. [FN495]
In sustaining the bulk of the surveillance, the Fourth Circuit agreed "that the Executive Branch need not always obtain a warrant for foreign intelligence surveillance" [FN496] where its primary purpose is to gather foreign intelligence: ...

Carter is not only a fool, but a liar and traitor too. He needs to be a late president soon, the worthless arse.
