I had a conversation with the young man for at least ten minutes. He really had no answer for my questions and commentary. It was frustrating but he really couldn't answer my questions with any clarity at all. Had no answers, just kept saying we should get permission from the FISA court first. I reminded him that the FISA court was established before 9/11 and that things had changed. That there were people in Paterson, NJ and Detroit, MI who would be dancing in the streets if we were attacked again. That I did not want to wait for that to happen and the democrat idea of going back to Square One......meant going back to before 9/11 and being vulnerable to an attack. Told him that the families of the dead would give anything for their loved ones to be alive and that the democrats were setting us up for more grieving families with their hatred of the President.

The FISA court has all ready ruled on this and found the President's program completely with in the Law. It is another example of the utter failure of our Junk Media to do it's duty and actually REPORT the facts. This child clearly is merely mindlessly resurrecting all the lies fed him by the Leftist Education Establishment. The use of such out right lies as "Warranty Wiretapping" "Congressional Over-site" etc prove the Junk Media is merely reprinting the Moveon.org or DNC Talking Points emailed them. Simple answer. The President's Commander in Chief powers are inherent to his office and are not in any way subject to Congressional Oversight. There is a Power grab here. Congress is trying to claim for itself power to ignore the US Constitution and the Executives Inherent powers at it's whimsy.
