No, Brandon, you haven't answered ANY questions.
Try again: Was Bush telling the truth when he said a wiretap requires a court order?
If you lack the intellectual capacity to figure out the answer to that question, just say so.
Seems like I answered this one several posts back:

Gosh, I'm sorry I asked you to cite your source! That was improper, wasn't it?
Telling someone you don't know the answer to the question isn't actually answering the question. It's claiming ignorance.
I tried to help you out. I tried to take you by the hand and help you figure out the answer to the question.
We started with the first line from Bush's quoted statement.
Bush stated that a wiretap requires a court order.
Is Bush's statement true or false?
I provided you with several well-known citations to authority to substantiate the truth of Bush's statement.
If you wanted to read the cited authority, it would take a second to google the cited authority and find the link. I mean, how hard do you suppose it is to find a link to the Fourth Amendment?
Search Hint: Cornell LII
Click on the link provided for Cornell LII and you will find links on that webpage to the Constitution, the United States Code, the Code of Federal Regulations, Federal Rules of Evidence, etc. . . . everything you need!
FISA is in Title 50 of the United States Code. The Statutory Scheme begins at Section 1801:
50 U.S.C. § 1801 et seq.
The Criminal Code is in Title 18. With a quick review, you will find the federal wiretap law.
Finding links to the Supreme Court cases is even easier than that. You may simply use the volume number and page number given in the citation to find the case on Findlaw.
Example: DRAPER v. UNITED STATES,
358 U.S.
307 (1959)

I have not hindered your ability to read the cited authority, the only thing hampering you is your own laziness. You refuse to type in a simple search and read.
One more time: Do you agree or disagree that Bush's statement is true--that a wiretap requires a court order?
