WASHINGTON - Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts said Friday the Bush administration's domestic spying is within the president's inherent power under the Constitution, and he rejected criticism that Congress was kept in the dark about it.

The program is "legal, necessary and reasonable," the Kansas Republican wrote in a 19-page letter, taking a particularly expansive view of the president's authority for the warrantless surveillance.

It is NOT legal and he damn well knows it. Grrrrrrrrrrrr...

1. Because people are confusing the issue

Spying on Americans is illegal. All the lies debunked:

2. More hapless desperation by the RW fascist-leaning government

THIS is why you cannot ever have the same party in charge of Congress and the WH. Let's hope this mistake can be corrected quickly.

5. I think knowing who he was spying on, will go a long way to convince

people. I don't think many Republican types know that it wasn't just muslim extremists.

6. Bald assertions by Roberts do not

make the spying "legal, necessary and reasonable..." They simply keep him on Ch*ney's good side. Snarrl!

11. And what exactly is HIS knowledge of the subject?

He certainly doesn't know his Constitution and the division of govermental powers.

So, you can take his advice as completely uninformed and totally partisan, as he has proven with all of his past statements.
