AP wire tap poll gets the language right
So the first wire tap poll out of the gate neglected to mention the "warrantless" or "without court approval" part. The obvious result? 64 percent of Americans support it.
But the issue here has never been the wire taps themselves. It's the ILLEGAL part. The WARRANTLESS part. The NO CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL part. The AUTHORITARIAN EXECUTIVE part.
But AP got the language right in a poll released today, including the words "get a warrant from a judge". Only 42 percent say the president can do whatever he wants. 56 percent of Americans say the president should have to get a warrant.
