Legal Issues re: Surveillance

In light of the recent debate over the President's powers during wartime, the Federalist Society has produced a monograph on the legal and constitutional issues implicated by NSA's global al Qaeda surveillance program. Although this surveillance program is important in its own right, the ongoing dialogue about its proper legal and policy parameters has become a surrogate for a broader discourse about the constitutional balance among the Executive, Congress, and the Judiciary.

From a layman's (non-lawyer's) first glance, this looks like it was published by the ACLU.

Should not be any issue's. The program was approved by a voice vote in '94 by a DIMWIT controlled White House and Congress.
