I was responding directly to your attempts to diffuse big brother concerns by implying judicial review would occur. The requirement of judicial oversight does not preclude big brother attempts at censorship. Particularly when the courts feel they are deciding issues of national security. Your citation of the Bush administration does nothing but affirm this point.
