What tool did Bush need ...

[Ringo]

to fight terror that FISA didn't provide ?

In short, why did Bush need to go around FISA ?

Hint...It's not to save my ass, as most of you cowboys are getting ready to type.

Is there a legit answer ? ..can we debate this ?

How long does it take to get a FISA approved warrant?
There's your answer.

A FISA warrant isn't needed to wiretap a suspect. It can be obtained later ...after the wiretap has taken place. There's your answer.

And if, for some stupid liberal reason, the tap is denied? The information obtained is thrown out?

"Yeah, he's going to blow up Chicago, but that was an illegal wiretap, so you can't arrest him"

I've seen the decisions of some of the moonbat courts, this would have a high probability of happening.

If the info is about a crime or criminal, it wouldn't be thrown out. And 99% of the taps are approved.

So ...what does that leave us with ? Why did Bush go around FISA ?

It's not they are taking to long to issue a warrant

It's not because the intel keeps getting thrown out

Why ?

Oh please.

We got a "president" who thinks the murderers at Gitmo deserve the same Constitutional protections offered to US citizens.

Many of them would have been thrown out. The Ninth Circus Court thinks that whales have rights.

President Bush's policy was nothing new and the courts have affirmed he acted legally. Pissant.

Look at that, the namecalling mod opened his mouth...

And you couldn't be MORE WRONG. The link you provided shows us the FISA court approved Bush to collect FOREIGN intel....not domestic.

The FISA appeals court said in its 2002 opinion In re Sealed Case that the President has "inherent authority to conduct warrantless searches to obtain foreign intelligence information" and took "for granted" that "FISA could not encroach on the President's constitutional power

Not until you learn something about the subject. Until then - shouldn't you be at recess?
