This has got to be the best defense of warrantless wiretapping I’ve seen yet:
One seems to forget what FISA stands for—Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. “Foreign” doesn’t stand for “Americans”. But another mass-casualty terrorist attack might be unavoidable for Democrats, because it involves “nonviolations of the nonrights of nonAmericans” (Rich Lowry/ TownHall). FISA gave the government a way to monitor foreign communications and to act. But it requires a warrant to do so. The Protect America Act changed that–temporarily.
Don’t you understand?!? If the word “foreign” is in the bill’s title, then it only applies to foreigners! Kind of like how the title of the No Child Left Behind Act guaranteed that Pres. Bush’s education agenda would succeed in educating every child. It’s amazing how dense these left-wingers can be.
