I watched a Senate hearing about the Administration by passing the FISA Court. A half dozen former FISA Court Judges were on the panel and all of them agreed that the FISA law that was enacted by Congress probably impinges upon the power granted to the office of the Presidency by the constitution and until or if the Supreme Court makes a ruling that the office of the Presidency must abide by the FISA law, he does not have to abide by the FISA law.

The reason this country was founded with 3 branches, the Executive, the Legislature, and the Judicial is so no one branch could have supreme power and each would have oversight on the other. Its called Checks and Balances. And that is what this administration is saying GFY to constantly.

Congress cannot enact a law that impinges upon the powers granted to the Office of the Presidency by the constitution untill or if the Supreme Court rules that the Office of the Presidency must abide by said law.

Do you want all your phone calls for the past 5 years sitting in a government database that can then be accessed by other government agencies and who knows who else?

It is not a question of what
I want. It is a fact that the Supreme Court has previously ruled that a persons phone records do not have any expectation of privacy.
