It appears to me that warrantless domestic wiretaps have been used by
every administration since Wilson to the present time. The code breakers
of WW1 were resurrected in 1920 to re-form the Black Chamber to conduct
the surveillance. Under President Hoover, Henry Stimson, Secy. of State
closed the Black Chamber in 1929. In WW2, the censorship rules enabled
renewed surveillance which then again went into limbo at the end of the
war.
They reverted back to the private secret agreements between the
President or his direct representatives and the president(s) of the
major communications companies to carry out the wiretaps. And later, the
oversight agency was NSA which seems to have continued the
unconstitutional surveillance to the present day.
One account of this story is in The Shadow Factory by James Bamford,
pages 163 ff published in 2008. It may be necessary, but I wish they
would arrange a legal process to do it with judicial review.
Best,
