Unlike, Bush, Obama is at least going to the FISA courts. Remember how Bush tried to twist the AG's arm, while he was in the hospital, to sign-off on collecting the phone data WITHOUT any warrants whatsoever.

The snoopers had warrants from the court set up by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. FISA courts are supposed to keep investigators within the law while they’re secretly searching for terrorists. We have been hearing a lot about this recently, since the Obama administration keeps pointing out that the N.S.A.’s phone records project had the blessing of FISA judges. Last year, the feds made 1,856 requests to FISA judges and got 1,856 thumbs-up.
