Foreign refers to anything beyond the national confines of the U.S.Originally Posted by Red Harvest
I have avoided no such thing. The President can bypass FISA. I think I have been quite clear on this issue. I have explained how this is so according to case law, legal opinion and a general exposition of President's charge of office....as well as the little issue of whether the President can bypass FISA if it does *not* encroach.
This doesn't follow. If a law does not apply then it can neither limit nor serve as reference for unlawful activity. If you believe FISA does apply: as in it limits the President's ability to gather foreign intelligence make that case. I will read it. Thus, far all I have noted from the handwringers has been innuendo.You see, if the Prez is really staying within his Constitutional authority, FISA is not limiting him. However, if he is exceeding it...then FISA is limiting him from taking on unlawful authority, that would not be unconstitutional.
You didn't answer my two questions.
