We could do that too.

Honestly, I don't have a problem at all with wiretapping...to an extent. My problem is with HOW they went about it. I mean really...do you think any judge would've turned down an application for a warrant to tap these phones? It doesn't take that long to get such a warrant, either. But they (and by they, I mean Bush, Gonzales, and who knows how many other corrupt assholes) just did an end run around checks and balances and when they were caught basically defended themselves with "I'm the president. Nothing I do is illegal" (a'la Richard Nixon). Really...if they'd just been honest about it and done it the right way, no one would ever have known. Shit...they could've even used FISA. Those courts are sealed so they'd still have their secrecy and it would've all been legal.
