of the warrants require the three judge panel. These are federal appellate level judges. Congress oversees the dept of justice, cia, nsa etc. You also have the President. What you're claiming is paranoia. If the gov't wanted to cheat on this they wouldn't have so many involved. Also, all these so called "revelations" being reported lately don't do anything to show that the process has been abused. If you hate government, so be it. If anyone does what Nixon did, they'll be doing it illegally. If anyone wants to spy on American citizens without a warrant or probable cause, they'll be doing it illegally. The people at the nsa are trying to find terrorists. They take that very seriously. They don't want to listen to your phone calls, they want to catch bad guys.
