This is the biggest problem I have with the entire process. 30 reauthorizations means reauthorization every couple of weeks, and the only place in FISA I find something that has a period of about two weeks is here:



Now, in that little clause, as I read it, the fifteen days follows "a declaration of war by the Congress" rather than the Presidential authorization. It seems clear to me that only one authorization is allowed.

I would hope that people in the executive branch would have a basic command of grammar. Particularly Republicans.
My wife has a nephew, let's call him "Jailbird." He also thinks that the rules that apply to everyone else don't apply to him. He also has a history of fondness for cocaine.

He's been diagnosed a sociopath. However, unlike some sociopaths, he's never really managed to either restrain his more grandiose impulses nor has he enticed other, more balanced people to act as his handlers.

The biggest problem we've always had with him is, how do you get someone to follow the law when they've been relatively successful in finding people to run interference for him all his life?
