Of curse, none of these polls quite asks about the real issue: should the president be
allowed to ignore the law?

The law states that the law enforcement types most get a warrant to monitor calls of the
relevant kind within 48 hours AFTER the monitoring starts, IIRC.

The President never bothered to have his people do this. IN fact, since it is standard
procedure for law enforcement agents to follow the law unless told otherwise, someone
must have ordered these agents NOT to follow the law.
As I have now said in a couple of other posts, the issue as you state also involves presidential powers in a time of war when national security is involved. Presidential authority and powers can and has changed numerous times through out our history during wars.
