Boo! Hiss!
Senate Intelligence Chairman: Bush Can Spy
WASHINGTON - Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts said Friday the Bush administration's domestic spying is within the president's inherent power under the Constitution, and he rejected criticism that Congress was kept in the dark about it.
The program is "legal, necessary and reasonable," the Kansas Republican wrote in a 19-page letter, taking a particularly expansive view of the president's authority for the warrantless surveillance.
Of course this is coming from the representative of the state that just decided Creationism should be part of every science curriculum. I'm sure he has a Bible passage to support wiretapping.
