What Supreme Court case allows for the use of MI v Congressional assembled and approved agencies?I don't know the cases involving use of military intelligence, but a quick review causes me to recommend a good summary at "Laird v. Tatum and Article III Standing in Surveillance Cases" by Jeffrey L. Vagle
Laird v. Tatum, 408 U.S. 1 (1972); and Clapper v. Amnesty International.
Before finding that, I would have guessed United States v. U.S. District Court, 407 U.S. 297 (1972) [the "Keith" case] and US v. Truong Dinh Hung Truong, 629 F.2d 908 (4th Cir. 1980) cases.
The Keith and Truong cases don't specifically note military intelligence, but they do stand for the proposition that no warrant, hence no court, hence no alphabet agency need to be involved, depending on the purpose of the investigation.
If foreign agents are using the DNC and the alphabet agencies to subvert the presidency, there is a definite "foreign intelligence" component.
The Hamdan case was post capture and dealt with the legitimacy and applicability of military tribunals.
Cboldt, many many thanks for posting this info!!!
Many thanks.
Re: military tribunals. I have heard discussion of the possibility of trying Hitlery, et al in military tribunals. The argument something along the lines of they were acting on behalf of foreign powers / enemies and therefore could be subject to mil tribunals instead of the normal civilian courts. The advantage being that this could circumvent the problem with so many of the civilian courts having corrupt and compromised judges.
