I 100% support what the pres is doing in this regard.
A known and legally wiretapped al queda agend in Saudi Arabia calls a mystery number in NY. 1 minute later the number he called in NY makes a call to a number in Seattle. According to some interpretations of the current rules, the feds can not wiretap the call from NY to Seattle because it is a domestic call without a warrant. Some warrants have taken over 3 MONTHS to get!
A little late after Safeco field is in flames and 70,000 people are dead.
But it can be bypassed and then obtain one within 72 hours. But then the courts won't give one to you because of some stupid technicality and by law you must let the terrorists go free.
This is a preposterous assertion. The figures provided by the Justice department indicate that out of something like 28,000 applications for warrants over the entire history of the FISA court, exactly FIVE have been denied.
I've heard around 19,000, but that doesn't matter, because the number not approved is extremely low (i.e. you don't run out of fingers counting them).
