#1 Lost in the shuffle is the glaring fact that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is a power grab by Congress. It should be challenged in SCOTUS. Stricken down as infringing upon Presidential Powers, the issue goes *poof* and the entire effort by Donks to impeach Bush goes *poof*.

Then we can get back on-track and finish the really important issues, such as the "outing" of Valerie Plame and her CIA parking sticker, lol.

After that, Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction should be revisited. I blame Bush.

#2 Real lawyers looking at it a good while ago. Here's Powerline's take on it.

#3 Indeed, GH. I've followed this on PL and elsewhere. I do wish, however, the FISA farce would be challenged. It's the cover and crutch of the Moonbats.

#4 Bryon is a steady supply to the boys at Powerline. But the article is insightful because it delves into the legal rationale the Administration went through before this 12/16/2005 NY Slimes boondoggle began.

Moreover, the FISA Court of Review decision in 2002 gives the mindset behind the FISA judges and the abrupt resignation of one judge.

AG Gonzalez has not, to my knowledge, mentioned the 2002 FISA Court of Review decision during his recent Senate Judicial Committee testimony.
