Overlawyered (I've Lost Count What Part)

It seems that the Democrats are, belatedly, becoming concerned with their image: they are concerned that they may be portrayed as unreasonably hampering legitimate requirements of the national defense and are seeking a face-saving, cover-their-behind patch of FISA, while at the same time continuing to bluster and threaten and obstruct almost all the President's national security initiatives.

Isn't it time that this nation had an open and freewheeling debate on FISA and Congressional and Judicial attempts to micromanage even the tactical aspects of the President's national security powers and duties?  Isn't the defense and security of this nation too important to be left to the lawyers? 

If FISA is unconstitutional as it restricts the President's Constitutional powers and duties, let's have it out.
