The Adventures of George W. Bush
You point to the old Lebanese lady sitting in the front row. "You! What's your question?"
"Mr. President, it has recently been revealed that the NSA has been spying on American citizens without getting a court order from FISA, in clear violation of the Constitution. You claim that this action is needed because the terrorist threat is urgent and you 'don't have the time' to wait for a court order. How do you reconcile this with the fact that the FISA system actually allows you to get court approval AFTER the actual surveilance has taken place?"
You stare into the cameras with a blank expression. Quick! Think of something to say!
