EDIT:hey this is my 20th post!!
EDIT:
either i'm going crazy or my car is! If you want the whole story it will be on xanga!!!
OK so moving away from the "courage debate" i have to start a new one!!!!
OK i have a debate in Government this Thursday. The topic is "May the president wiretap without a warrant to protect national security". now i know that the president doesn't personally do the wire taping so i think the title could b reworded but that's not really the point. So i'm looking for thoughts 2 use in my debate. i have 2 prove that he does not have the right 2 wire tap. Just for the record i didn't pick the debate or the side i would b on. I switched debates w/ someone b/c she wasn't going 2 b able to make it 2 this one. So yes if u have any thought or good points that would b cool. Also if anyone has any ideas as 2 what a better strategy might be, better than wire taping b/c people always ask the debtors, "well what is your solution to the problem?" So yes leave me some thoughts!!!!
P.S. there that was more than one word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have a very unfortunate side to the argument since Constitutionally, and technically, I think the President is on pretty firm ground with the wire-tapping dilemma, but if I had to make an argument against it I'd start with the Foreign intelligence Surveillance act of 1978...while it can be interpreted to be an infringement on executive power it can also be interpreted that with this statute the President did require a warrant to eavesdrop.
Pretty tricky stuff though, Bekah.
What is the solution to the problem?
Most administration and justice department officials concede that warrants could've been procured through the secret United States foreign intelligence surveillance court for most of the suspected terrorists...it would've just taken longer than they wanted it to.
A plausible solution would be to just go through the secret court, get a warrant, and eavedrop without making anyone uncomfortable for now reason...
Whew...and I'm spent
Wouldn't things be so much easier if they just made Nancy Pelosi president?
thanks for the tips Job.
