I am listenting to TRU (used to be Court TV) about the Wiretap law...
...this one commentator is saying that the law expires this coming Saturday night. Is that correct? If anyone has cable or sat TV, this really is an interesting discussion with Ricki Klieman and Fred Graham of the original Court TV media.

3. Actually the Protect America Act is what will expire
The FISA laws are still in effect.
