Retroactively legislate?????
>No worries. With guys like Specter and DeWine on the case, the GOP can retroactively legislate any and all get out of jail free cards needed for both past and future shennanigans. Its good to be king.

After an exchange of letters in June 2006 between Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter (R-PA) and Vice President Dick Cheney, the committee is considering Specter's bill putting the NSA program under the FISA court and granting retroactive amnesty for warantless surveillance conducted under presidential authority.[3] It is also considering legislation sponsored by Senator Mike DeWine (R-OH), a member of the judiciary and intelligence panels, that would provide a legal foundation for the surveillance program. >

>>Interesting conundrum: How do you prove you've been eavesdropped on if the NSA's surveillance program is so secret? Frankly, it is too soon Jake, you know that. No cases have gone completely through the courts yet. Even so, with those pending, i don't know how they will 'prove' anything. Here are a couple to watch though:
>>
>>
>>ACLU v. NSA, Docket No. 06-10204 (Michigan) US District Court
>>Terkel v. AT&T, Docket No. 06-02837 (Illinois) (AT&T participation case)
>>
>>
>>>Site the case where this has been proven please. Articles and opinions do not count, I'm talking about a legal ruling on the specific issue.
