And "We The People" voted.

Yes, for President, not for Consul.

If Bush doesn't like the FISA Act, he should work to have it repealed. Until then, he should abide by it.

The government argued that the NSA program is well within the president's authority but said proving that would require revealing state secrets.

I wonder what other powers the Executive Branch believes that it has that it won't divulge because such powers are a "State Secret"?

Must be powers that 'We The People' won't know about until the Government chooses to exercise them.

Bush has no obligation to yield to some unaccountable judge. When these FISA jacklegs started turning down FISA requests, he was right to go outside the process.

The President is responsible for the security of the country, not a judge like Diggs-Taylor.
