Pelosi Statement on Court Decision on NSA Wiretapping Program
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today in response to a federal judge's ruling that the NSA wireless surveillance program is unconstitutional:
"The decision by a federal judge that the President's electronic surveillance program is unconstitutional is a repudiation of Mr. Bush's dangerous assertion that he has unlimited authority to conduct wiretapping activities in the United States.
"Now it is time for the President to work with Congress to devise tough, effective, and lawful ways to monitor the communications of suspected terrorists."
