Statement of Senator Russ Feingold
On the President’s Failure to Explain Why it is Necessary
to Violate the Law to Effectively Fight Terrorism

January 25, 2006

No Administration official who has publicly defended the NSA program in the last week, including the President, has explained why it is necessary to violate the law and the Constitution to effectively fight terrorism. Instead, the Administration has resorted to a public relations campaign, perhaps because it knows its legal arguments don’t stand up. The American people deserve an explanation of why this Administration decided to violate the law and insists on continuing to do so.
