The FISA Court is inadequate in the current war on terror. The paperwork takes too long, and the connections can often be complex.

And judges like the arrogant Royce Lamberth, who is currently the subject of an ethics complaint, likely denied warrants for the sheer exercise of his own power and authority.

Bush was elected to protect the country. If he doesn't protect the country, he's gone. In war time, a President cannot be obstructed by some judge on a power trip.

Congress obviously approves of what Bush is doing because it is in no hurry to stop him.

Then put forward legislation that streamlines the process while still enabling judicial review. Play as hard as you want, but make it legal and make it accountable.

Speculative, and a straw man.

The President was elected to defend the Constitution, and the Constitution mandates judicial review, not secret courts and imaginary executive superpowers.

Congress obviously approves of what Bush is doing because it is in no hurry to stop him.

What Congressional majority is going to go against a president from their own party? This congress especially, since they seem to be a bunch of do-nothing swine.
