What's the rate of warrant refusal in the FISA courts again? Like 2 or 3 out of 10,000 or something like that?

Basically. Plus they can start tapping and get authorization later. Short of a sweeping and massive fishing expedition on American citizens (basically sidestepping oversight), there's no reason at all to have gone around FISA.Quote:

If the executive branch submits to laws passed by Congress, doesn't that legitimize the laws de facto?

We have argued this over and over and get no where.
What if congress passed a law that that allowed a 30 year old to run for president, and the president passed it. Can a 30 year old now run for president?
1) Does the constitution cay there must be a declaration of war first?Quote:
