Court Allowed NSA To Spy On All But 4 Countries
- deciplex 12y agoOn the other hand, there is absolutely no reason to think the NSA follows court orders in the first place, secret or not.
- themartorana 12y agoThis is yet one more piece of evidence on the mountain that came before that the FISA court is a kangaroo court rubber-stamp approval engine, not a court of thoughtful application of the Constitution. Over 35 years, they approved 35,000 requests and denied 11, while coaching the government (in that nice ex-parte fashion) how to ask in a way that would get approval. This should be shocking, but all it is is evidence that the court got tired of doing all that one-off rubber-stamping and just got a bigger stamp.
