We Had To Oppose The Law In Order To Break It
Just so I have this straight: one of the main excuses- I mean, "arguments"- that Bush is using for his illegal wiretap program is that it would take too long to get a warrant under the FISA. In 2002, however, Sen. Mike DeWine introduced a proposal that would have allowed the FBI to obtain wiretap warrants under "reasonable suspicion" rather than "probable cause"... and the administration shitcanned it.
Wow. Yeah, why make it legal when we could have? Because it's so much sexier when we directly flout the law.
