Missing the Point
As pointed out by both Justin at Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy and Mark Evanier at News From ME, it might have been nice if someone, anyone on Bill Maher's panel this past week had reminded Larry Miller and their viewing public of the FISA provision that says you can get a warrant up to 72 hours after the fact if you're wiretapping suspected terrorists. This is vitally important to keep hammering in - that liberals aren't "soft on terror," but rather that conservatives (at least the ones in power) are soft on the rule of law.
