Well... we have an idea which members of Congress weren't included in Bush's 2002 briefing when he admitted to giving the NSA carte blanche for domestic spying:

He said there would be hearings early next year and that they would have "a very, very high priority." He wasn't alone in reacting harshly to the report. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said the story, first reported in Friday's New York Times, was troubling...

"This is Big Brother run amok," declared Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass. Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., called it a "shocking revelation" that "ought to send a chill down the spine of every senator and every American."

Meanwhile, right-wing extremist, self-loathing racist, and apologist for fascism Michelle Malkin has added her grating screech to the Radical Right choir.

George W. Bush violated the Constitution's Fourth Amendment and his oath of office by signing an executive order in early 2002 allowing the National Security Agency to spy on Americans without having to obtain warrants.
