Nothing new under the sun though the dems & RINOs would have you believe it...

From the Washington Times:

Previous administrations, as well as the court that oversees national security cases, agreed with President Bush's position that a president legally may authorize searches without warrants in pursuit of foreign intelligence.

"The Department of Justice believes -- and the case law supports -- that the president has inherent authority to conduct warrantless physical searches for foreign intelligence purposes and that the president may, as he has done, delegate this authority to the attorney general," Clinton Deputy Attorney General Jamie S. Gorelick said in 1994 testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

But yet the dems & willing ignoramous RINO accomplices (can you say Olympia Snowe and Chuck Hagel?) would lead one to believe that this is unprecedented, and that the evil Bush and Karl Rove cabal is somehow the first to pull the puppet strings in this nefarious practice.

Like I have stated before, this whole issue is nothing more than another lame move by a political party, bankrupt of ideas, that can only hope to gain political advantage by manufacturing a parade of non-scandal "scandals"; hoping against hope that one will gain traction. But like an assembly line of cars with cheap Earl Scheib paint jobs, or a like a fashion show featuring $25-dollar hookers in see-through negligees, the flaws inherent in each of these lame attempts are more than apparent to anyone but the most casual observer or the most partisan of hacks.

Again. Nice try. No cigar.
