The Ignorance, or Deceit, of the Reasoned
I can't believe the outright ignorance of elected officials and the American Media. I say ignorance because I would like to think they aren't merely being deceitful to further their already obvious agenda. While the latter is far more likely, the former can't be discounted. After all, who can be expected to know every bit of US Code there is? Even I had to search it out, but it's there... President Bush's authority to wiretap without "court order".
Here are more than a few opinions on this subject-- none of which will meet BenT's rigorous standards --and a bonus from the US Code.
Thank You for Wiretapping

And lastly, this from the US Code:
US CODE TITLE 50, CHAPTER 36, SUBCHAPTER I ยง 1802
...choose "no thanks" on the page that opens..."
Don't bother commenting if you won't bother reading, at the very least, US CODE TITLE 50...
The President is well within his right as President to do what he's done. There's a good reason why the Constitution doesn't give authority to Congress for the prosecution of Wars. There's a good reason why that power is given solely to the Commander in Chief, irrespective of his party affiliation.
The New York Times is in Heap Big Doo doo for revealing National Secrets... yet again. Some dogs can't be taught anything.
UPDATE: HISTORICAL PRECEDENT
EXECUTIVE ORDER 12139

The Hypocrisy of the Left is without bounds; knows no measure; is conceived in hatred of the Right.
