Tapping public opinion
A majority of North Carolina voters do not think the Bush Administration has broken the law by utilizing wiretaps of American citizens without a FISA court order according to a Public Policy Polling survey. Fifty-three percent think the wiretapping policy is legal, while only 39% think the President is breaking the law.
For context:
When it comes to impeachment, North Carolinians think that President Clinton’s alleged transgressions, lying under oath about sexual relations with an intern, are worse than President Bush’s potentially illegal wiretaps. Fifty percent think that lying under oath about inappropriate relations with an intern is the more impeachable offense. Thirtythree percent think that authorizing wiretaps on Americans without a court order is more impeachable.

Update: While a majority of poll respondents didn't question the program, the boys and girls at the House J committee do have a few things they'd like to know about. (PDF)

Quick. Somebody call the Randolph County District Attorney and clue him in!
