- hypeatei 2y agoFISA hearings and processes are very secretive and unconstitutional. We've become accustomed to intelligence agencies blatantly violating our rights but it's okay because it might stop criminals.
- nova22033 2y agoand unconstitutional You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means
- hypeatei 2y agoThat doesn't really argue anything. The ACLU thinks it's unconstitutional too and lists the reasons here: https://www.aclu.org/wp-content/uploads/legal-documents/asset_upload_file846_36126.pdf https://www.aclu.org/wp-content/uploads/legal-documents/asse...
- nova22033 2y agoThere's a huge gap between "The ACLS thinks something is unconstitutional" to the thing actually being unconstitutional. The ACLU is free to challenge the law in the supreme court. If the supreme court rules in their favor, then the law is unconstitutional..
- sneak 2y agoThe state claims state secrets and prevents jurisdiction/standing when these laws are challenged. It doesn’t work. There is a large body of history about these unconstitutional laws at this point. It would be wise of anyone willing to make such claims to orient themselves with the current status quo and how we arrived here.
- hypeatei 2y agoThis assumes an infallible judicial system which ours is NOT. I find the blind trust in the courts a very boring and unhelpful take. What do you personally think about FISA, Patriot Act, etc.. which makes it easy for the government to spy on its own citizens?
