Mark Levin calls for elimination of FISA court, creation of alternative

Conservative commentator Mark Levin said the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court should be eliminated.

“It’s time to abolish the FISA court,” Levin said Thursday evening on Fox News. “It’s time to create a new counterintelligence-related court. It should not consist of existing federal judges," he added, before listing off other changes he would like to see.

Levin criticized the judges and said the his organization, the Landmark Legal Foundation, has urged FISA court Judge Rosemary Collyer to “do something” about “alleged abuses” from the Justice Department and the FBI. Collyer reportedly said there is “no matter pending before the court with respect to which such an appearance would be proper” in response to Levin.

"This FISA judge ... was misdirected," Levin said. "[Courts] have the power to reach back and hold people accountable [for contempt]."

He said he was disheartened that FISA judges have been behaving “like they have no role” in the investigation.

"Something smells like a rat," Levin said.

Either the FISA Judge was complicit, incompetent or a combination of both. There is no other rational explanation unless the Judge had his/her NSA file waived in their face and were told to play along or else.

Mark should understand that once a federal agency or court or group is created, it is never abolished. It is with us forever.

If the FISC is corrupt, and it appears that’s the case, then it must be dissolved.

This country is unprotected against the Deep State and lawless, whilst the DOJ remains presently configured.

Oh well. No court "is perfect".

Of course he is right. Far more likely that the judges are in on it than just misled. If misled, they would already have had Comey’s head on a platter.

Agree.

By “smell a rat” Levin is saying the Judges are corrupt ideologues.

Safe rule : If Mark calls for it that means it will NEVER happen.

I honestly believe that the same current FISA judges were communists left Democrat judges. Levin is right in dumping the current system and rebuild.

When the FISA court was created we (conservatives) tried to warn people that this is EXACTLY the type of abuse that would happen.

That’s what I think. We don’t need SECRET courts, secret unelected judges; no lawyers or even voice for the accused. It’s all too Marxist. Out they go.

I agree with him. Save the money. FISA court is there to legitimize unconstitutional snooping that is going to go on, court or no court. The function of the court is to fool people into thinking the government uses restraint in snooping. The government does not use restraint in snooping.

See US v. US District Court, the Keith case.

Time to end the charade that the government is somehow held in check by stern words from courts.

We don’t need a FISA court at all. Any federal judge can issue a warrant.

He should have stopped at “It’s time to abolish the FISA court.

If said judge approving Trump surveillance warrants does not issue a bench warrant for every party who presented false or manufactured evidence befpre the court immediately, the FISA court needs scrapping and the judge belongs behind bars.

“The government does not use restraint in snooping.”

Very true!

I do not disagree with him. FISA has clearly become irrevocably corrupt.

This goes ONE HELL OF A LOT DEEPER than just the FISA courts!

These videos were uploaded a few weeks ago and have somehow slipped through the Google Gestapo’s net. So check them out before they pull them. PLEASE SHARE!
I know, I know...you’re all getting sick and tired of all the *&$@%^& videos and other junk I send out. Sorry, I guess it’s the old Air Force instructor coming out in my old age. It’s just that I don’t want to go to my grave knowing I didn’t do enough to at least TRY to PRESERVE what WE had for our progeny!
BUT here are two videos - each running about 1 hour - that deal with an update on “stuff” that was John Birch Society 101 back in 1975 when some guy named Henry recruited me (and RUINED MY LIFE). I was fat, dumb and happy before that. All I have left is the fat, and even THAT is going.

If you don’t have time to WATCH these, boot them up and LISTEN to them while backing up files or whatever. Before you get to the 20 minute mark on Part 1, you’ll know more about the Deep State and the Shadow Government than 80% or more of your neighbors. You’ll also come to understand why this sinister CABAL had to destroy organizations like the Birch Society and its founder, Robert Welch and vilify & ultimately “eliminate” two men in government who understood what was going on & tried to halt it, Joe McCarthy (whose name has been made a pejorative noun by the Deep State’s media henchmen) & Larry McDonald (who was attacked by the Atlanta Mackerel Wrapper at every turn).

Yep - no stand-alone entity should have that sort of power.

Maybe the Pres and Chief Justice should have to sign off on each one of them
