The Constitution: Checking a Would-Be King
Ray McGovern writes that yesterday Judge Anna Diggs Taylor, "ruled that Bush's eavesdropping program is 'obviously in violation of the Fourth Amendment' as well as the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which expressly forbids eavesdropping on Americans without a court warrant."

The Constitution: Checking a Would-Be King
By Ray McGovern
When questioned about the legality of President Bush's eavesdropping program on May 8, the widely respected Admiral Bobby Ray Inman, who was director of the National Security Agency (NSA) when the FISA law was passed (and later deputy director of the CIA), said: "There clearly was a line in the FISA statutes which says you couldn't do this ... There was even an extra sentence put in the bill that said, 'You can't do anything that is not authorized by this bill.'"
