Ok, here's the deal: The President can order to have ANYONES phones tapped. Especially when the issue is of national security.

Ok are you with me so far????

BUT, and this is a BIG BUT, he must go before a FISA Court within 72 hours to get the wire tap.

So let's recap:

1. President can order to have anyones phone tapped.

2. He(of course he doesn't, someone else goes for him) must go before FISA Court to obtain approval.

Pretty easy huh.

Oh and here's the good part:

No wire taps have been denied to date!!

Wow!!! Really?

So, gosh bouys and gulls, now I'm confused. If the President can have anyone's phone tapped and can wait up to 3 days to get the approval of the wire tap. And all prior requests have been approved, why oh why, would he NOT do it?
