I supported Bush during the incident of recording international calls because they can be justified as intercepting foreign communications (or spying).

The internal US citizen-to-citizen tapping requires a warrant according to law. The NSA has no right to record such conversations according to Illegal Search and Seizure.
They are not recording the conversations. They are not listening to the conversations. All they did was obtain the records of calls made. The phone companies voluntarily gave those records. Where is the illegal part? I must be an idiot, because I simply don't understand how the NSA violated the law, or anyone's "right to privacy".
