The President Must Abide by the Constitution, Akaka Says
August 17, 2006
Honolulu, HI - Senator Daniel K. Akaka (D-HI) today issued the following statement in response to the ruling by Judge Anna Diggs Taylor on the National Security Agency's warrantless wiretapping program: “Once again, a federal court has rebuked the Administration – this time for violating both the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the U.S. Constitution. Our laws have no meaning if the President can arbitrarily waive them. I hope that the Administration will reconsider this ill-advised program and work within our constitutional framework to keep our nation safe.”
