To the Editor:

   On paper, our Constitution protects each of us from unreasonable search. That was given concrete form and teeth by the FISA statute of 1978, among others. Now judge Walker's ruling has affirmed that this constitutional guarantee was flouted and this law was deliberately  violated under the Bush administration. If the Obama administration persists in covering up these crimes, that cover-up is a new crime that deserves its own prosecutor.
