Bush was denied wiretaps, bypassed them
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26 (UPI) --
U.S. President George Bush decided to skip seeking warrants for
international wiretaps because the court was challenging him at an
unprecedented rate.
A review of Justice Department reports to Congress by Hearst
newspapers shows the 26-year-old Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Court modified more wiretap requests from the Bush administration than
the four previous presidential administrations combined.
The 11-judge court that authorizes FISA wiretaps modified only two
search warrant orders out of the 13,102 applications approved over the
first 22 years of the court's operation.
But since 2001, the judges have modified 179 of the 5,645 requests for
surveillance by the Bush administration, the report said.
A total of 173 of those court-ordered "substantive modifications" took
place in 2003 and 2004.
And, the judges also rejected or deferred at least six requests for
warrants during those two years -- the first outright rejection of a
wiretap request in the court's history.

Now why d'ya suppose they rejected his requests, hmmmmmmmmm?

Bzzzt. Wrong answer.
The FISA court has no authority over the Commander in Chief during
wartime.
The President and the US military (including the NSA) does not have to
get a court's permission to wage a war that has been authorized by
Congress.

We're not talking about a war, DumbFuck. We're talking about a violation of the
Constitution.
that has been authorized by
Congress.
War? Yes. Spying on Americans and violating the Constitution?
NO.
