The Senate Judiciary Committee is Still Working on New Ways to Legalize Bush's Illegal Wiretaps

Also Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee discussed legislation that would go after al-Qaida's more private communications using Bush's warrantless surveillance program.

The committee broke without voting on several bills to govern the controversial program, which allows the National Security Agency to monitor without court warrants terror-related communications between the U.S. and overseas.

Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., has introduced a bill that would require the administration to get approval for the surveillance from a secretive federal court every 90 days. He circulated a possible modification to his proposal late Wednesday that Democrats suggested would give the government more flexibility to conduct surveillance.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., asked Specter to postpone consideration of any bill until she and other lawmakers get more information on the program from the administration.

7. If Bush has already said it isn't illegal, why the push to make it legal?

And if the push to make it legal is successful, what's stopping The Decider from signing one of those ridiculous signing statements saying he doesn't need to follow no stinkin' law anyway? Maybe the Repub congressional folks know that signing statements may eventually be struck down by the Supreme Court (we hope)?

This sounds snarky, but I am confused here.
