More From Sen Feingold....
Monday, December 19, 2005
Sen. Russell Feingold (D-Wis) responded to Gonzales' comments in an NBC interview this morning. "This is just an outrageous power grab," he said. "Nobody, nobody, thought when we passed a resolution to invade Afghanistan and to fight the war on terror, including myself who voted for it, thought that this was an authorization to allow a wiretapping against the law of the United States. "There's two ways you can do this kind of wiretapping under our law. One is through the criminal code, Title III; the other is through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. That's it. That's the only way you can do it. You can't make up a law and deriving it from the Afghanistan resolution. "The president has, I think, made up a law that we never passed," said Sen. Russell Feingold (D-Wis.)
.....................
Bush and co are trying to spin it that he had the authority from the legislation passed a few years ago and even the republican pundits have gone as far as to blame Clinton for 9/11 cuz if wire taps were legal it would have been prevented. Talk about rewriting history, I bet that was Ken Mehlman's #1 talking point since they have nothing else to go on to defend this behavior.
