2. Shrub's screwed

He had all that time to be in compliance with the law, and chose not to be. This isn't a situation where they had 72 hours, and it took 80 or somethign like that - this was just Shrub giving the middle finger to the law, and the Constitution. I can't see them persuading a jury that this is anything other than criminal misconduct.

4. Need meaning of "Congressionally declared war."

"Permits the President, through the Attorney General, to authorize electronic surveillance without a court order to acquire foreign intelligence information for up to 15 days during a Congressionally declared war."

9. with all this

Being it's so easy to obtain a warrant before, or even after, you have to assume that there were targets of warrants that the court wouldn't have agreed to.

If this was JUST a case of them trying to spy on potential terrorists talking to other members in other countries, than they would have gotten the proper court approval like has been done 18,000 times before.
