I don’t think Supreme Court precedent is unchanging –- and I obviously disagree that the FISA should be read to enfringe on the wartime powers of the Commander-in-Chief –- so, I guess you think the ROBERTS Court is going side with you on that one?! LOL
The 4th Amendment reads “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against UNREASONABLE searches and seizures, shall not be violated . . .” (emphasis added).
If Korematsu was “reasonable” please explain how simply listening to the enemy (yes, even if they are U.S. Citizens as Mr. Korematsu was), but NOT shipping them to internment camps, would be unreasonable. Assuming you could even get that kind of ruling, first, I’d like to see the Supreme Court enforce it; second, I would advocate what is COMPLETELY LEGAL then – the President signs another Executive Order to round up every Arab-American and put them in camps with no communication whatsoever – then we won’t have to wire-tap them anymore. So much for trying to compromise with you Democrats. You people have no idea how to defend a nation.
