NSA eavesdropping constitutional

The NSA warrantless eavesdropping program has shown there should be limits to Executive power, to what extent a "wartime" President is unconstrained by law, how the Congress and judiciaryfail to check and balance Presidential power, and the ability of the President to ignore Congressional law on national security grounds.

Bush acknowledged that he had authorized the NSA to eavesdrop on conversations involving suspected terrorists in the months after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. He contended that his constitutional powers and the prewar resolution gave him that legal authority.

George Bush said a Congressional investigation into this scandal, would be "good for democracy." Republican Senator Arlen Specter has also said that he believes the Bush Administration’s eavesdropping program ought to be investigated, and is busy investigating away.

Mr Specter (then Junior Counsel) has a history of investigations into thorny issues … he was responsible for the single magic bullet theory that struck and killed President J.F. Kennedy and wounded Governor Connelly which the Warren Commission claimed as the fatal single shot. See pic.

Sounds like a slam dunk for the Prez from here...
