and constitutional

Longer statement-Under the FISA law, there's an exception that the President can go ahead and bypass FISA temporarily IF a Declaration of War is declared. Biden says that the Declaration to Use Force is equivalent to a War Declaration. Still says Bush's position is bullshit.

I'll have to go find my John Dean book but I could swear he laid out in that book the argument that there has never been a constitutional declaration of war.
