Orin Kerr points out that, in fact, what the court invalidated was “part of a 1986 law known as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. ”

James,
It seems to me that the more sophisticated lefty blogs are trying to pull a reverse on 2000 by attempting to spread a “Bush is a great debater” meme, thereby RAISING expectations for his performance.
I think it’s pretty clever, actually.
Personally, I think Bush tends to be pretty awful in staged events like debates and pretty good in more informal settings.
