what a surprise! Frist doesn't think laws need to be obeyed!

Frist: No New Spy Legislation Needed

WASHINGTON - Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, standing firmly with the White House on the administration's eavesdropping program, said Sunday he doesn't think new or updated legislation is needed to govern domestic surveillance to foil terrorists.

"I don't think that it does need to be rewritten, but we are holding hearings in the Judiciary Committee right now," Frist said on CBS' "Face the Nation."

Frist also said he didn't think a court order is needed before eavesdropping, under the program, occurs. "Does it have to be thrown over to the courts? I don't think so. I personally don't think so," he said.

What a shocker! Frist doesn't believe that repugs need to obey the law!
Didn't we used to live in America?
