This is a highly exerpted copy of an editorial in NRO today. It is worthwile to read it in its complete form. If you are having a hard time explaining to liberal friends, this will give you a lot of amunition. Read it and go forth and tell the truth.

I think the FISA court is an usurpation of presidental powers and should be abolished. It was created by a stacked democrat Congress that was trying to abolish our intelligence community. And it seems they are still working at that by trying to dictate and manipulate the law to suit THEIR agenda. And at least one of them seems to stay in close contact with the ACLU.

Since when did DemocRATS care what the law actually says?

A great takedown of the "unconstitutional" argument & the FISA dilettantes.

BRILLIANT FIND!!Bottom line is that the Court of Review has ALREADY GIVEN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH BROAD POWERS TO CONDUCT SURVEILLANCE.
Of course, we won't hear about any of this because Russ Feingold and NBC and ABC and CBS and MSNBC and National Public Radio and CNN don't have access to National Review.
Well, either that or they don't care about the facts.

And then the Court of Review did one more thing, something that has repercussions in today's surveillance controversy. Not only could the FISA Court not tell the president how do to his work, the Court of Review said, but the president also had the "inherent authority" under the Constitution to conduct needed surveillance without obtaining any warrant from the FISA Court or anyone else. Referring to an earlier case, known as Truong, which dealt with surveillance before FISA was passed, the Court of Review wrote: "The Truong court, as did all the other courts to have decided the issue, held that the President did have inherent authority to conduct warrantless searches to obtain foreign intelligence information. . . . We take for granted that the President does have that authority and, assuming that is so, FISA could not encroach on the President's constitutional power." Someone send this to Judge Napalitano.
