How Do the Republicans Justify This
Is this American? Is the President above the law, answerable to no one? Do the Republicans say that the President can do anything he wants as long as it MAY fit into the terrorist agenda? The Washington Post reported (WaPo)
In response to a question from Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) during an appearance before the House Judiciary Committee, Gonzales suggested that the administration could decide it was legal to listen in on a domestic call without supervision if it were related to al-Qaeda.
"I'm not going to rule it out," Gonzales said.
In the past, Gonzales and other officials refused to say whether they had the legal authority to conduct warrantless eavesdropping on domestic calls, and have stressed that the NSA eavesdropping program is focused only on international communications
The Republican response will be interesting.
