36. "72 hours" is not relevant to anything

The argument is, and I agree with it, is this:

The FISA does not overrule any President's War Powers or National Security responsibilities as authorized by the US Constitution and the relevant "Authorization for the use of Force" resolutions passed by the Congress.

There is no SCOTUS decision that says it does. On the contrary, the SCOTUS has given wide latitude to Presidents in foreign intelligence and national security matters.

This is not about domestic criminal operations or defendants.
