Knowing the illegal - and paranoid - bent of these fascists, you've got to think that * was spying on his political opponents. Terrorism had nothing to do with it. He couldn't go to the FISA court because they would never have approved such illegal procedures.
Trust me, this will come out. We'll be treated to RWers spinning how there's nothing wrong with it.
Are we now assuming that the NSA would do this without raising a stink? I don't know enough about the NSA to hazard a guess as to how they'd feel about being used for political fraud for the republican party.
I think we know the answer to that one. It is naive in the extreme to believe that politicians with the power to eavesdrop on anyone they want to, with no accountability or oversight, would not abuse that power.
He didn't need to break the law and violate the Constitution in order to wiretap domestic calls. FISA allows him to do this and even gives him time to get a warrant AFTER the wiretap has been done.
They're wiretapping people they shouldn't be spying on.
