http://powerlineblog.com/archives/012631.php has additional discussion on Supreme Court cases, and appelate court cases which relate to the subject matter.
Succinctly, I believe the president has the power to perform warrantless searches and seizures, that when he uses this power, the information cannot be used for criminal cases since it infringes on the criminal's 4th ammendment rights. I believe FISA was established to loosen the meaning of " probable cause" in the fourth ammendment to include prospective crimes rather than only retrospective ones (ie. the prevention of crimes rather than the prosecution of crimes already committed).
