WASHINGTON -- An intense debate erupted during the Ford administration over the president's powers to eavesdrop without warrants to gather foreign intelligence, according to government documents. George H.W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney are cited in the documents.

The roughly 200 pages of historic records obtained by The Associated Press reflect a remarkably similar dispute between the White House and Congress fully three decades before President Bush's acknowledgment he authorized wiretaps without warrants of some Americans in terrorism investigations."

2. This time they just bypassed the process

They did it and they are going to make you prove why they shouldn't be able to, instead of making a case before they did it.
Again, I reiterate, they just look at you and laugh...because, in all reality...whatcha gonna do about it?
