I agree, what harm could come from waiting a few days while FISA reviews the warrant.

Get ready to cry, because this ruling will be overturned on the fast track. It will be before the 6th Appelate Court next week! Do you like siding with a carter appointee?

When you are data mining, looking for patterns (automated) there is no specific target so no probable cause can be argued. What are you guys, liberal trolls?

You forgot the sarcasm tag. That remark is dripping, I mean dripping.

While the NSA complies with this temporary injunction(expect it to be overturned), the terrorists get a free pass to coordinate their deceit.

Theoretically it's OK to go to the FISA court, but as a practical matter that could take too long in some situations and I've read that FISA has some liberals on it who are too restrictive about wiretapping terror suspects. If NSA is restricted too much within the US, they can probably just their operations offshore and wiretap from the other end of the phone lines.
It's a difficult issue. We don't want to give a president like Clinton unlimited power to wiretap us, but we also don't want to stop the NSA from gathering crucial intelligence in the WOT.

I agree, what harm could come from waiting a few days while FISA reviews the warrant. First, FISA agrees that the NSA isn't required to consult them. Second...oh nevermind, your argument is just silly.

They don't even have to wait. FISA allows them to wiretap before getting the warrant.

Are you intentionally pretending to not understand the role of the secret FISA court? They expressly do allow monitoring for 72 hours immediately and will issue retroactive warrants. Don't like that restriction? Why don't we just get rid of the judiciary completely then and annoint POTUS king and be done with it? Is that what you want? Bet you'd be on the other side of this silly argument if Billary were president. Think about it.

Yes, the administration did just this over 18,000 times

Yeah and while FISA is out having chai with the local Imam, the NYT can be warning our sleeper cells not to use their phones, cool.
