The Constitution and the NSA Warrantless Wiretapping Program: A Fourth Amendment Violation?
Blake Covington Norvell
Yale Journal of Law & Technology
Volume 11, Spring Issue, 2008-2009 p.228

The tragic event of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack persuaded President George W. Bush to authorize the National Security Agency (NSA) to engage in a warrantless wiretapping program aimed at monitoring international phone conversations between persons residing in the United States and persons believed to be affiliated with terrorist organizations. A firestorm of controversy emerged with heated debate about the legality of the NSA program. Legal scholars’ opinions about the legality of the program widely varied, with some suggesting that the program was a glaring violation of the law while others argued that the President was within the law and that his actions were necessary to protect the security of the nation. This article addresses whether the NSA spying program violates the Fourth Amendment by examining various legal cases and policy issues. The existing legal literature addressing this question has primarily focused on whether the NSA program violates the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. This article pushes the current debate further by addressing the equally important, but rather difficult question, of whether the NSA spying program violates the Fourth Amendment.
