aps said:Do you need me to define wary?
Still in there digging, eh? Good for you.
So how would you compare this Kornblum quote...
Judge Kornblum: To be admissible, the evidence would have had to have been lawfully seized or lawfully obtained and the standard that the district judge would use is that, depending upon where this is, is the law in his circuit. In most of the circuits, the law is clear that the President has the authority to do warrantless surveillance if it is to collect foreign intelligence and it is targeting foreign powers or agents. If the facts support that, then the district judge could make that finding and admit the evidence, just as they did in Truong-Humphrey. [emphasis added]
with this Kornblum statement?
"I am very wary of inherent authority" claimed by presidents, testified U.S. Magistrate Judge Allan Kornblum. "It sounds very much like King George."
Appears very much to me that the 'wary of inherent authority' statement is a general statement meant to describe all presidents, while in the specific case of the NSA surveillance program, he states that the law is clear: "the President has the authority to do warrantless surveillance if it is to collect foreign intelligence and it is targeting foreign powers or agents."
Can I assist you with any other details, like reading comprehension?
