By ignoring the law, and making specious arguments that powers contained in Article II make the president virtually unaccountable to either the courts or Congress, the president shows contempt for the other branches and exposes his determination to concentrate power within his own — with no particular gain for the war on terrorism.

Or as my husband said earlier, wiretapping is the lazy man's tool for fighting terrorism. Bush** would rather eavesdrop than secure our borders, ports, airports, etc. Why won't he do the real work? Because Bush** will never do anything that doesn't help him control his greatest threat -- the American people -- that's why.
