To the Editor:
    Judge Walker's finding is a welcome affirmation that no one--even the president of the United States of America in times of war--is above the law. The FISA statute of 1978 was clear and binding and it was flouted.  Now it remains to disclose in how many more instances this law was violated, and to prosecute those responsible.  If we are to have a government of Laws and not of Men as our Founders dreamed, there must be consequences for violating the laws duly enacted by our representatives.
