The reason Emperor Chimptard didn't want to bother with the FISA court is that the taps had nothing to do with "terrism" or national security. Like Nixon, he wanted to wiretap those on his enemies list. The FISA court would have told him to go pound sand, so why not just cut them out of the picture altogether?
On the other, maybe he bumped in to the spying and is dumbfounded by the number of laws being broken and the fact that this implicates so many members of the Administration.
I agree with all of the posts above. It's Watergate 2005: Why break into an office when you have modern technology to do the 'breaking' for you?
I try not to be too optimistic these days, and I think it's going to take time, but I honestly believe that THIS is the thing that will bring down this Administration ...
if we ever learn the degree of who all is being bugged. Most people raising any threat to those fighting to hold power are probably being bugged, either continually or sporatically, depending on their "threat level". I'm sure most of us have been bugged at one point or another.
