Unauthorized Snooping

Unauthorized Snooping: "It is impossible to believe that Congress, in authorizing the use of force against al Qaeda, understood itself to be making compliance with FISA optional -- particularly because it was, in that same period, relaxing certain provisions of the surveillance statute in the USA Patriot Act. If the authorization of force implied a repeal of a decades-old law that comprehensively regulates domestic surveillance, what other laws does the administration think were repealed?"
