The president answers to the electorate every 4 years. Wrongs are generally righted at those times. In the interism, gross misbehavior can result in an impeachment and removal from office.

In the meantime, if the President says "I tapped the line of terrorist sympathizers because of an immediate need regarding those who murdered 3000 of our citizens on 9/11, and with whom we are officially in conflict by act of Congress." then I'm going to believe him.

If he says, "I'm requiring as commander in chief that all commercial enterprises to send me a thousand bucks a year.", then I won't.

I'm able to tell the difference.

I am able to tell the difference too. Sadly, some FREEPERS, who imagine that they are conservatives, but who sound like faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar lefty DEMS, obviously can't tell the difference.

We have FISA, which is specifically designed to handle foreign surveillance. The president is ignoring FISA. I have a problem with that. No one is above the law.
