At the full committee hearing on the nomination of Michael Hayden to be director of the CIA at the Hart Senate Office Building, Russ Feingold (D-WI) asks Michael Hayden whether he would hypothetically follow the FISA Statute or the President if they instructed two different courses of action.
Russ Feingold (D-WI) asks Michael Hayden "if the President told you that he felt he had power under Article Two to override (the rules of FISA) would you be bound by the statute, or would you follow the President?" Hayden responds, "unless there was a compelling argument . . . or course not." (0:27)
