FISA JUDGE RESIGNS
A federal judge from the 11-member Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court has resigned. This comes amid revelations that the Bush administration authorized the National Security Agency to carry out surveillance of Americans without warrants. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance court was set up to regulate government surveillance of suspected foreign agents. Although Judge James Robertson has not publicly commented on the reasons behind his resignation, the Washington Post today cited 2 sources close to the judge who say the resignation was in protest of the Bush administration's domestic surveillance program.
