New Attorney General opposes changes to wiretap law

Source: CNN

WASHINGTON (CNN) — In his second day on the job, Attorney General Michael Mukasey leaped into the political fray, telling a key Democratic senator he opposes his electronic surveillance plan and would recommend the president veto it if it is passed.

In a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., on the eve of crucial committee votes to update the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), Mukasey was adamant in opposing Leahy's plan for changing the law.

Mukasey and Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell co-signed the letter released Wednesday night by the Justice Department.

Thanks congress. Thanks for Alberto II.

Attorney General Michael Mukasey's primary job is to protect the republican power structure.

We absolutely have to have a Democrat in the White House in 2009.

is important to establish the chain of command in this BAT SHIT CRAZY Administration... i dont see anyone in the White House that is in any way the least bit sane.

know who I am referring to.

Anyway, I found this comment at the end of article you posted and it seems to sum it up well.

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
