Liberal "Logic"
As I now understand it, liberals such as Senator Finegold think that President Bush exceeded his constitutional authority when he intercepted (I think wire tap is the wrong word here) messages sent by or to individuals with suspected ties to terrorism because he did not establish beforehand some reasonable assurance that they were in fact terrorists. Setting aside the complete lack of understanding of the powers the Constitution gives our Chief Executive, I wonder if Sen. Finegold thinks I should be X-rayed, screened, wanded and otherwise scrutinized before getting on a plane. Surely all of us in that long line at the airport have not been clearly established as terrorists to some reasonable degree of assurance. If you don't think that is a good example, go to Washington and try to get into the good senator's office without scrutiny. The guy is a partisan idiot.
