FISA judges are not boogiemen.

No one with a lick of sense sends anything they want secret over the internet without outrageous encryption. And even then they’re just kidding themselves.

You think this is a GOOD thing?

My daughter is a lawyer. She was telling me over a Christmas visit that the FISA court judges have not once turned down a request from any agency requesting anything on anyone.

She's a stickler for fact. She wouldn't have said it if she had not thoroughly made herself aware of the facts up to that point in time.

I keep bees. The other day I was ordering some nucs (nukes) of bees on an email. After sending it I looked at the subject line and message body.

Meeting up to transfer, using caution in travel with them, and final placement where they would go unobserved in my urban location. I can just imagine how many lists I populated at the NSA on that email.

“FISA judges are not boogiemen.”

No, they are just normal everyday judges in a secret court, issuing secret rulings, over a secret body of law, where only on side is represented. Who could ever call THAT a boogieman? lol
