#1 Well, kinda sorta..

As with much Colin says, his comments are loaded with caveats. As in his saying that Bush should have gone to FISA afterwards.

There is absolutely no obligation to report surveillance to FISA and to voluntarily do so would be to give up presidential authority needed to fight the war on terror.

Just consider the judge who quit in disgust from the FISA court-- a lefty from the Clintonoid Era.

#2 This issue is a big time loser for Democrates. This makes Democrates look like the "we will only fight with one arm tied behind our back" party. The real question for the average voter is: Do you feel safer if we give those people who want to kill you the full rights of an American citizen.

#3 We can only hope that the donks make this a campaign issue. Every poll I have seen indicates this is a non-issue as far as the general public. Of course the fever swamp is whining about impeachment, but I really doubt that it will get any traction outside their echo chamber. It will be fun to listen to them whine for the next three years.

Who steered cases of Clinton corruption to judges he knew would go easy on the Clintons.
