People, warrants are something you get to try and build a criminal case pursuant to our criminal justice system. We are engaged in a WAR with the terrorists, not a criminal investigation. The purpose of the NSA program is first and foremost to PREVENT an attack on U.S. citizens and property. The courts have recognized spying (for which no warrant is required) as an inherent presidential power in the execution of a war or authorized use of force. The Constitution makes NO distinction between foreign and domestic ENEMIES (as opposed to those being CRIMINALLY prosecuted).

The Constitution is the SUPREME law of the land, no statute can supercede it.
