Do you support the NSA's warrantless wiretapping program?
I do not. I don't think the president is above the law, and cannot decide when it is convenient for him to obey it. The president, like all citizens of this nation is bound to the law and the constitution. He cannot use national security as an excuse to curb civil liberties and spy on American citizens without a court order. Our government has a system of checks and balances, and our president bypassed the secret court that was put in place to keep our government from abusing it's power. The president has no right, and no legal basis for his actions.
