What are you talking about?
You think the NSA is going to invite the RNC in to listen to rival politician's conversations and use this power to destroy us all?

The whole damn point of the FISA court is to make sure that WHOEVER is President is using these wiretaps in a legal manner. We can't just say, OK we trust you, Mr. President, we don't need any agency to make sure you aren't wiretapping political enemies!
The point isn't that anyone thinks Bush is wiretapping political enemies. The point, that seems to be totally lost on you, is that there is a system in place to make sure ANY president doesn't and our current one seems to be circumventing it.
The ONLY reason to do this would be if the FISA court was infiltrated with terrorists. So trying to justify the president's actions seems more like the job of a conspiracy nut to me.
