If the whole thing is so legal then what's the problem with the Courts judging it constitutional or not. I'm sure that this will reach the supreme court at some point and then we'll see.
I for one applaud the judge. As long as the DEMS keep holding that "Bush broke the law" meme, I for one tire of defending it.
What's so wrong with it going through the courts?
Of course if you feel that it is un-constitutional then you may have issues.
because you essentially believe the executive has no inate constitutional powers. if he can't tape foreign phone calls, and he can't hold prisoners outside the US without having US trial rights granted to them, and if he can't interpret the geneva agreement to deny captured terrorists POW rights - exactly what powers DOES the President have?
yet, you are willing to cede ALL of these powers, and anything else I imagine, to 5 lawyers on the SCOTUS - and label it "constitutional".
