Do we need any more proof that the NSA needs constant oversight ?

The President orders the NSA to spy on Americans. OK! Where do we start, they ask? They don't question that it might be something that is illegal. In fact, they would know it is illegal. Yet, they follow the illegal orders. What dangerous people? Who would be in charge of the NSA ? Would that be Condi or Negroponte? Or both? Throw them out on their asses if they did this, is my opinion.

4. President Carter???????

Who is know to have how many terrorist ties? Zero (or a huge number, if he's counting all the Democrats. I wonder what other Democrats they were monitoring - as they were campaigning.

5. I say impeachment !

They cannot overlook this . This is abuse of power of the worst sort, in my opinion. And this is the first time I have called for impeachment.
