Every time someone challenges the view that what the President did was illegal, I ask simply if he followed FISA. So far, I haven't gotten an answer to the question. Given that "avoiding questions" is something you don't like, maybe you can break the trend and answer it.

FISA IS NOT WHAT DETERMINES EXECUTIVE POWERS.

"The Constitution designates the president as commander in chief, and Congress can no more direct his exercise of that authority than he can direct Congress in the execution of its constitutional duties. As the FISA court itself noted in 2002, the president has "inherent constitutional authority to conduct warrantless foreign intelligence surveillance."
