Bush personally decides surveillance warrants

From this WaPo article:

Senior Bush administration officials told Congress on Tuesday that they could not pledge that the administration would continue to seek warrants from a secret court for a domestic wiretapping program, as it agreed to do in January.

Rather, they argued that the president had the constitutional authority to decide for himself whether to conduct surveillance without warrants.

Is W fucking serious?!? I really don't have anything to add, but this needs to be brought to our attention.
