The Clinton's sure got their money's worth with this judge.

Yep, the old definition of "honest judge" was one who once bought stays bought. This guy seems to absolutely fit the bill.

Does this character have any buddies at the NY TIMES?

Does this rascal have leakitis?

I hope that you are right and that the president will say that no citizens were targets.

Personally I don't care if they were or not. As long as they were ID'd via contacts with known terrorists overseas, surveiling them falls under the President's power as Commander in Chief and under the power delegated to him by Congress in their Authorization for use of force in the War on Terror. We are fighting a war here, not chasing common criminals, or even seditionists. They are trying to kill as many of us as they can. The job of the CinC is be prevent that.

IOW, I think some aspects of the FISA act are unconstitutional encroachments on the power delegated to the President by the Constitution.

We were at war when the last abuses were done. The public The Democrats and the Media knew this and still wanted the power of domestic spying without warrants taken away from the government and they got laws enacted to that effect.

There, now it's correct. Besides, this was not "domestic spying" it was monitoring the communications of foreign terrorists, and only when they contacted someone in the US was that person's communications targeted, and even then, only their international communications.

It also appears that if the person seemed to be actively involved in planing or supporting terrorist activities, then a warrant was sought to monitor their domestic communications as well. I think the administration bent over backwards to accommodate the law to well beyond the limits of the Constitutionality of that law.

I hope that turns out to be the case...

This is great news! I hope all of the liberal judges resign in protest.
