John Schmidt, associate attorney general of the United States in the Clinton administration, superbly explains why the NSA intercept program is legal under all authorities and precedents.
John Hinderaker at Powerline posts his very interesting e-mail exchange with Eric Lichtblau of the New York Times, one of the reporters who broke the story about the NSA's overseas intercept program, asking why his reporting appears to have tried to create the impression that the NSA's overseas intercept program is, or may be, illegal. It's worth the read.
Do you ever wonder why we never heard such an outcry when the Clinton and Carter administrations authorized electronic surveillance without a court order?
Ann Coulter adds her two cents here.
