No, not really. It puts it on record so that the executive branch can't do wiretaps to anyone they want to for any reason. If they don't issue a warrant no one knows who they are listening to, unless a whistleblower comes forward and exposes the illegal activity. Don't you understand that the democrats will be able to do this too when they get back into power? They will be able to wiretap anyone they want to since Bush set the precedent that you no longer need warrants.
