Looks to me the Magistrate strayed a little bit to far into foreign policy.
Which I guess is okay since Federal Magistrates are just about the lowest form of Federal Judges — Kinda like a municipal court judge but they work for the domain of federal district court judges.
I think, most of the bogus Warrants and No Knock warrants we hear about typically come from low level Magistrates.
I call it a down payment.
