Quote:Teleco is approached for wiretapping. Teleco refuses. Teleco is charged with obstruction of justice, and legally so under the Bush Administration. Any questions?Did anybody present the telco with a warrant?
(As I understand it, "obstruction of justice" in this sort of case requires that the obstructor refuse to comply with a warrant. Also as I understand it, no warrants were obtained or presented in these particular cases. Are either of those points of understanding incorrect?)
