Daisygirl, Thanks for expressing your thoughts. I, for one, don't hate the president. I believe what we are doing here is discussing several sides of an issue. From statements the president himself has made, it appears (and is not yet proven) that he authorized wiretaps without FISA authority, even the authority he could get 72 hours after the wiretaps went into effect. For the most part, people in this particular thread haven't identified themselves as being from either party. We are American citizens having a discussion about current events.

Chatty Lady, I would respectfully ask that you leave those of us who wish to discuss this issue alone to discuss it in peace. There's a great deal of thinking going on here, wresting with questions which don't have easy answers. We are not "mucking up this forum."
