York Clinging To Gorelick Myth
Yesterday we wrote:
Neither Gorelick or the Clinton administration ever argued that
president’s inherent “authority” allowed him to ignore FISA [Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act].
This morning, The National Review’s Byron York responded:
The Center’s position appears contradicted not only by Gorelick’s
testimony but by a statement she made to Legal Times in November 1994,
several months after her testimony, in which she said, “Our seeking
legislation in no way should suggest that we do not believe we have
inherent authority.”
Actually, our argument is perfectly consistent with Gorelick’s
statements. Both her testimony and in the Legal Times quote, were
about physical searches. In 1994, the FISA did not cover physical
searches. She was explaining what the President’s authority was in the
absence of any congressional statute. She wasn’t arguing that the
President had the authority to ignore FISA.
In 1995, with President Clinton’s signature, FISA was amended to
include physical searches. That law prohibited warrantless domestic
physical searches. No one in the Clinton administration, including
Gorelick, ever argued that the administration could ignore the law,
before or after it was amended.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president
represents, more and more closely, the inner soul
of the people. On some great and glorious day the
plain folks of the land will reach their heart's
desire at last and the White House will be adorned
by a downright moron." --- H.L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
