F.I.S.A. was okay when it wasn't

Markos over at Dailykos points us to some reports on positions the Bush Administration formerly took regarding F.I.S.A. Back in 2002, the Justice Department went before Congress to recommend against loosening the requirements of F.I.S.A. for warrants to snoop on foreigners in the U.S. Their reason, in part, was that it was unconstitutional. This was at the very same time that the Prez was ordering the N.S.A. to bypass the F.I.S.A. courts.
