HaloScan.com – Comments: “Who’d a’known,
If you google Diggs, wiretapping, NSA, and ‘federal court,’ you will quickly learn that Bush’s spy program has been declared illegal by a federal judge.
You may also not know that a judicial decision is not necessary to make an activity illegal when the activity is specifically prohibited by a statute. Congress defines what is illegal by enacting laws. In this case, it enacted a law making it a crime to conduct domestic electronic surveillance without first obtaining a specific type of warrant. Bush’s spy program intentionally conducts domestic electronic surveillance without obtaining the warrant that the law requires. See? It’s illegal. Is that really so hard to understand, or are you just goofing on everybody?”
