Terror Survellience Bill in Congress

The GOP has submitted this bill, according to Fox News:

One of the bill's chief sponsors, Sen. Mike DeWine of Ohio, said the bill requires the president to go to court as soon as possible to get approval for wiretapping and other forms of monitoring.
"It does not ... give the president a blank check," DeWine said, while authorizing "a limited, but necessary, program."

Here is why I'm for it:

The proposal came under immediate criticism from advocacy groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union.
The ACLU said in a statement that the bill would allow "Americans' phone calls and e-mails to be monitored for 45 days without any court oversight and makes court review after that period optional" — in violation of the Fourth Amendment's guarantees against unreasonable searches.

Leave it to the ACLU to protect terrorists from the "bad ole government".
