McCain: Bush Does Not Have Legal Authority To Warrantlessly Wiretap Americans

This weekend on Fox News, John McCain joined these fellow republicans, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS) and Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN), to say that President Bush does not have the authority to conduct warrantless wire tapping on Americans.
