Court Secretly Struck Down Bush Spying: Report

The courts don't seem to agree with the President that he is a King. Mr.Bush has been forced to lower himself and ask the Congress to change the law he has been trying to break:

A U.S. intelligence court earlier this year secretly struck down a key element of President George W. Bush's warrantless spying program, The Washington Post reported in its Friday edition.

The decision is one reason Congress is trying to give legal authorization to the spying program in fevered negotiations with the Bush administration this week, the Post reported.

Lets see if this fangless Congress caves in to the thugs at the White House:

The effort would modernize the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which requires court approval to monitor communications with people inside the United States.

The White House wants to bypass the court when spying on overseas foreigners, whether they are communicating with a U.S. citizen or not. Democrats object.
