Is that why we needed legislation to exempt the phone companies from liability?
Once you're snooped your snooped. They may not be able to use the information in court but they have it just the same.

Because trial lawyers like to make excuses for law suits.
Either way it gets oversight by the courts.

And do you trust the secret court Bush set up to protect your rights? Gonzales did not turn out to be the most trustworthy person the Justice Department has had as it leader.
If approved by Congress, the deal would put the court, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, in the unusual position of deciding whether the wiretapping program is a legitimate use of the president’s power to fight terrorism. The aim of the plan, Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales told reporters, would be to “test the constitutionality” of the program.
The plan, brokered over the last three weeks in negotiations between Senator Arlen Specter and senior White House officials, including President Bush himself, would apparently leave the secretive intelligence court free to consider the case in closed proceedings, without the kind of briefs and oral arguments that are usually part of federal court consideration of constitutional issues. The court’s ruling in the matter could also remain secret.

Here is MY goodbye song to Bush...to the tune of Toot Toot Tootsie!
Bush, Bush, Bushie goodbye,
Bush, Bush, Bushie don't cry.
The aeroplane that takes you away from D.C.
no words can tell how happy it makes me.
Later, Bushie and then,
Don't want to see you again.
Watch for the subpoena,
Hope they put you on trial,
Or maybe we will let you go
And stay in denial.
Bush, Bush Bushie don't cry.
Bush, Bush, Bushie goodbye!
