No. I don't believe that at all. If something is ABSOLUTELY against the law, then it's pretty clear cut.
I did not allege any such thing. You might have inferred that, but I did not allege it. I agree cases should be decided on their merits, and in this case there's obviously a different interpretation of the law.
I don't think it's ok for any administration or individual to break the law. In this case, I don't believe it's clear that any law was broken. If someone assassinated a political opponent, it's pretty cut and dry that a law was broken.
Here, in this case, you have different legal opinions and different points of view, so I don't think anyone can say with certainty that the law was broken. That's why I quoted the Atty General...
"...Now, in terms of legal authorities, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act provides -- requires a court order before engaging in this kind of surveillance that I've just discussed and the President announced on Saturday, unless there is somehow -- there is -- unless otherwise authorized by statute or by Congress. That's what the law requires. Our position is, is that the authorization to use force, which was passed by the Congress in the days following September 11th, constitutes that other authorization, that other statute by Congress, to engage in this kind of signals intelligence..."
If, in your opinion, this administration broke the law, then that's your opinion. It's certainly not reality until the title of this thread becomes a reality.
