A secret court that rules in secret and only hears the government’s side.
This is why we are not a dictatorship. We have openness and accountability.

Not to mention, this monstrosity of a “court” is likely nowhere to be found in the Constitution! It’s most likely a rubber stamp for .gov and its intelligence services!

This made me laugh, though only to keep me from screaming in rage. Justice is important to me, see the tagline.

Spot on. It’s too big, too invasive to pretend it still represents a republic. Sorry Dick, you’re wrong. I don’t want to trade liberty for ‘security’ and a security state.

Ye Olde English Star Chamber Court we have now in contemporary America that does not call witnesses or allows defense arguments that meets in secret, hears only the government side and makes decisions that are stamped “Top Secret” and not shared with the citizens.

America: A free country?

I think not.

Semi-free country with the “semi” part disappearing daily.
