But, according to the author, Congress changed the rules with the passing of FISA, and since Congress changed the rule, then, hey, they MUST be right? /sarc

All these things are just to bash Bush.

Congress should have known this ruling before they started the "hearing". The only purpose in holding a "hearing" is to try to harm the country and embarrass Bush.

RINOs are liberals even though they may have R after their name.

I can't see a flaw in the author's general point that Congress does have the power to stop the President from doing this. But I don't see in FISA where the President is NOT allowed to eavesdrop on communications going overseas.

So if they really feel the President shouldn't be doing this, Congress is free to enact a law preventing him from doing so, and to try to override his veto.

Wait, nevermind, Bush lost his veto pen, hasn't used it once in office. Maybe he'll find it for this and then start to veto the other crap legislation like the stuff that he's been signing so far.
