FISA? What the hell is that?

I was going to do my public service for the day by explaining just exactly what the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act allows the government to do, how the Protect America Act changed it and how the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution may or may not be involved, but it turned out to be really, really, really complicated.

So more on that later. Pretty much right now, I got nothing.

Be sure to study the part about on-going investigations not being comprimised since the law expired. The President "forgets" to mention that part when trying to scare people into voting for this thing.

And I just wish someone could explain, why can't they just get a warrant?
