It's a good thing the president is immune from prosecution while in office, because he just admitted to a crime that carries a sentence of up to five years in prison.
I'm SO sick of the "9/11 changed everything" justification. Fine, make your goddamn illegal wiretaps. Don't listen to the advice of the 9/11 Commission, who just FLUNKED your ass on actually taking steps to make our country safe, but make illegal wiretaps so the people you catch will have to be let go.
It would have been trivially simple for him to get a legal groundwork for this action. But His Imperial Highness doesn't need to do that. Laws schmaws. We're post-9/11 here!
