He's not going to do that. He knows it's unconstitutional.
What you're saying is kind of like saying: "Look, torture works, and we're doing it anyway - therefore let's just do it with medical oversight to ensure the torture doesn't go as far as organ failure. They will do it for our safety against the enemy, and with good oversight - so it's all good. It's for our safety!".
They shouldn't be doing it at all. The "oversight" gets corrupted over time, too, and then what?
