Nice to meet you Jeff. I'm sure that we agree on most things since we both like this site so much. :-)

My point was just this ruling is not really what it seems - especially from the headline.

NSA survielance was ruled unconstitutional - only the wiretapping of Amercian citizens without a warrant was.

If the administration and congress really care about this program, then all they have to do is change the law - they don't even have to change the constitution.

In one day congress and the administration could make this program perfectly legal and constitutional.

Oops, meant to write "NSA survielance was NOT ruled unconstitutional - only the wiretapping of Amercian citizens without a warrant was.

I agree that congress should make the necessary changes in the law to make all sides happy. I disagree though with those here that say POTUS Bush violated the constitution and can be impeached for this.

The POTUS of the US has inherent authority during a time of war that no one, not even SCOTUS, can touch. The judiciary is not above Bush but an equal branch, yet can not intrude on his wartime powers.
