A federal judge has resigned in protest over President Bush's authorization of a domestic spying program.US District Judge James Robertson (left) was one of eleven members of the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) Court.
Judge Robertson's resignation comes as two Republican Senators joined the call for Congressional hearings into the President's order and the subsequent spying.
Senators Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME) joined Democrats Dianne Feinstien (D-CA), Carl Levin (D-MI) and Ron Wyden (D-OR) in calling for a joint investigation by the Senate Judiciary and Intelligence Committees. (WashPost)
