"Several members of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court said in interviews that they want to know why the administration believed secretly listening in on telephone calls and reading e-mails of U.S. citizens without court authorization was legal. Some of the judges said they are particularly concerned that information gleaned from the president's eavesdropping program may have been improperly used to gain authorized wiretaps from their court."

"The questions are obvious," said U.S. District Judge Dee Benson of Utah. "What have you been doing, and how might it affect the reliability and credibility of the information we're getting in our court?"


This should be fun. While they're at it, they might want to look into the whole legality of his elective war. Bushie, I believe you may have some splainin to do.

"One judge, speaking on the condition of anonymity, also said members could suggest disbanding the court in light of the president's suggestion that he has the power to bypass the court."

Perhaps our military should do the same thing. Maybe they should just walk away, head on over to the whitehouse and lay their guns at the front door. Ring the bell and leave a little note.
