What is the major parties' stance on illegal wiretapping?

The Republican party is more willing to fall in line with the George W. Bush administration. Their National Security stance says sometimes wiretapping is necessary, because you can't tip off the people that you're wiretapping, otherwise it's useless. That's one of their main reasons for doing that, it has to be secret in order to actually gain the information that you need. Once these people find out you're wiretapping them, then they'll change their activity and you won't gain any important information. The problem is that it's warrentless, and that gives the state ability to abuse its power. That's where Democrats and Civil Libertarians come in and say we're really worried about the state being able to abuse its power by not having a judge look this over, or a judge that's not part of the Secret FISA court or something else like that, where it's in the public record. If it's in the public record we can keep an eye on government more. Yeah, that might mean you can't do law enforcement as vigorously as you want, but that's a small price to pay for keeping civil liberties intact.
