    the one eyed man:

    I don't think warrants should issue except on probable cause as well. The Commander-in-Chief doesn't need warrants to spy on the enemy during wartime though. See the distinction? These Venn diagrams wouldn't touch at all. Oh, yeah, since someone brought up an analogy to the Saturday Night Massacre all over again with a simple hospital visit, keep in mind that Comey was not a Special Prosecutor, there were no resignations or firings, no “Robert Bork” to authorize the program anyways, and the President went ahead and allowed DoJ to change what they needed to. Good luck with that canard though: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/watergate/articles/102173-2.htm
