Dylan,
A great comment! I doubt if there is any group that is "bipartisan" though. I will state this again for about the thousandth time also; Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton....all did the same thing, yet no outcry. This is not an issue of national security or spying or whatever. It is just another way for liberals to go after this President. As to the question of him overstepping his authority......I would think that would be a valid thing to ask. But some "bipartisan" group is not the arbiter of that question.

The article I read, reporting on the same story in
the Baltimore Sun, came from the Associated Press.
It seems the Congressional Research Service is not partisan and did a pretty thorough report, concluding that the president's legal arguments for the NSA's warrantless searches are not as solid as he has said.
A better headline might have been: "Research group questions validity of warrantless NSA searches".
Whatever the spin, it seems clear to me that the president does not wish to accept any meaningful limit on his power to fight terror. The Constitution plainly does not allow such an absolute reading of executive power.
