FISA ALLOWS TAPS w/o court order for 15 DAYS dont be fooled by imitations

[FogerRox]

here is how I see it--

the Attorney General, may authorize electronic surveillance without a court order under this subchapter to acquire foreign intelligence information for a period not to exceed fifteen calendar days

Only after this happens--

following a declaration of war by the Congress.

what does this mean to you?

Notwithstanding any other law, the President, through the Attorney General, may authorize electronic surveillance without a court order under this subchapter to acquire foreign intelligence information for a period not to exceed fifteen calendar days following a declaration of war by the Congress.

1) wiretapping only for the 1st 15 days of a declared war-- which might last --oh 3 years-- this is Dougs take

----------or

2) In a declared war the feds can wiretap without a court order for 15 days-
---this is my take

The origial FISA section 1811 thread:

-what good is a law allowing for wiretaps for the first 15 days only? Thats what Doug is saying. I say his interpretation is wrong.

In a declared war, the Feds can wiretap for 15 days w/o court order.

heres the statute-

2. No one here at DU is fooled

but the MSM will help perpetuate the lies and distortion so when they do a poll the majority of the people will believe that there was nothing illegal that was done, just like the morans believe that Iraq had something to do with 9/11
