The piece argues that FBI eavesdropping under J. Edgar Hoover and Robert Kennedy raises concerns about law enforcement listening to private conversations without court sanction. It notes Kennedy's knowledge is less important than the practice itself and links to the Bobby Baker case and a Supreme Court ruling.
