On Saturday, a Reuters story announced that Bush and certain unnamed telecommunications companies have agreed to turn warrantless wiretaps back on, despite the expiration of the Protect America Act and the fact that it's legality is currently being debated in Congress.
Yahoo has the story.
The Justice Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued a joint statement saying wiretaps will resume under the current law "at least for now."
"Although our private partners are cooperating for the time being, they have expressed understandable misgivings about doing so in light of the ongoing uncertainty and have indicated they may well discontinue cooperation if the uncertainty persists," the statement said.
So apparently the Executive Branch, the Justice Department, National Intelligence, and "private partners" are the people who determine what the law of the land is now.
Is it impeachment time yet?
