OK.
But what about warrantless domestic wiretapping
And ...the quote you provided doesn't say WHY Bush needed to go around FISA and not get warrants.
It simply says Bush ordered the NSA to intercept international calls.
What is the new tool you mentioned ? ...a wiretapp certainly isn't new.
You asked what tools President Bush needed that FISA didn't give him. I gave you the answer.
The excerpt I posted was the prologue of the 42 page non-classified document that the Department of Justice published to explain the legalities of his use of the wire taps.
So go download adobe, and read it.
Re-read my question. More slowly this time. I tried to use as few syllables in the words as possible, given the discussion. But if need be, I can speak more slowly and dumb it down a bit more for you. However, since I only used one multi-syllabic word the first time, give me a bit more time to try to rephrase. Is English your first and only language? If not, maybe we can get a translator here.
What law ? ...I can't believe I am about to explain this....unreal.
It depends on what court order you are avoiding.
If you ignore the court when they tell you not to drive ...you will get in more trouble, it's called violating a court order
The court is the law, and violating their orders is agaisnt the law...thats why you get in trouble when you ignore the courts orders.
The part you posted simply said Bush ordered the NSA to intecept international calls.
What the fuck is the new tool ? ...wiretaping ? ...thats not new. I would have no problem with Bush wiretaping through the FISA court.
My question is why did Bush need to go around FISA ?
Ahh, introduction of a new term...court "order". Now we're onto a different issue, which is contempt. Very tricky of you. But that was not your initial assertion.
You initially indicated that "going around the courts" was "clearly illegal".
I asked you what law such action was violating.
Now you say that violating a court order is against the law.
At least we have a starting point that we can agree. Violating a court order is against the law.
But how about we get back to your initial assertion, which I questioned you about...that being that taking action to avoid going to the courts is clearly illegal.
Please tell me what law it violates, since there is no court order in effect that is being violated. In fact, as you conceded earlier, there was a failure to utilize the court, hence, no order.
So, would you like to try again?
