Secret courts and unknown laws are the hallmark of a totalitarian regime...................
It's like Zimbabwe or Somalia.
always good to have a racist in charge.....must make O so proud
The Washington Post reported, “fellow judges and lawyers who appear before him say Walton’s decisions do not appear to be guided by politics but by a tough-on-crime mentality.” Walton is known by local defense attorneys as a “long ball hitter” - a judge willing to impose long sentences in order to deter future crimes.[3] In fall 2005, the judge was driving his wife and daughter to the airport for a vacation when he came across an assailant attacking a cab driver on the side of the road. Walton tackled the assailant and subdued him until police arrived. The D.C. police spokesperson noted in response, “God bless Judge Walton. I surely wouldn’t want to mess with him.”[3]

Reggie Walton, where I have heard that name before? Hmmm.
I ask, again:
“Why do we NEED the NSA, since we already have the CIA?”
Now, a new question ...
“Who is it who keeps the chain in hand for these federal lackeys?”
I believe that these “secret courts” are hemmed in, to looking after ‘foreign intelligence’, as much as the Grizzly bear will only attack errant hikers, and not other types of humans.
his path toward the law began in part when he was stopped by police in the early 1960s simply for being black”
...so now he feels it’s his job to screw over every white person he comes across. That’s not “racism”. That’s “social justice”.~sarc
Hi ruralvoter, I hope you are well.
Something I’ve always wondered abou “FISA Courts”. Are they really courts? Are there opposing parties appearing before them? Is there due process? Do they act as an ombudsman, without opposing views? Hmmmm.
ping to important SCOTUS-related article
“Reggie Walton is the presiding judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, whose 11 members are appointed directly by the chief justice of the Supreme Court. “
I was going to say something about this clown being a rubber stamp for whatever the government wants, but that’s also true of most judges who will sign whatever the cops put in front of them. Otherwise we wouldn’t have something like 40,000 judge approved military style raids every year.
