Please point out where in the FISA bill a court order is not required ?
Every "search" still needs a court order, though the only difference is the timing.
AQ in the ME is calling AQ suspect in LA, we don't have the luxury of waiting for a court order three days later. The "search" is still reviewed.
You calling your mother for her meatloaf recipe is not being monitored unless her meatloaf is highly explosive and she lives in Pakistan
I am not concerned about them listening to my conversations with my mom. I am concerned about giving the government more powers than the Founder’s believed they should have.
There is a huge difference betwen you and I. You believe the government is good and has our best interest in mind. I believe the government is not always good and can be used against the people. These powers that the government have now, can easily be turned on anyone that they may label “terrorist” since the definition is very broad. Anyone can be labeled a terrorist whether it be pro-life protesters, Christians speaking out against homosexuality, gun dealers, or a myriad of other groups.
So in an almost paranoia state of fear over ME terrorists the government now has been granted powers far greater than they should have. This “timing” of the court order goes against the plain reading of the 4th Amendment.
