I had heard about that regarding FISA cases. Something like only 2%??? overturned. Yeah, government not going to lose one of those cases. Can't bring down that system.

Thinking because its a general background video, distinguishing the difference between FISA title warrents may be confusing. I have tried twice explaining to good folks, mostly called blank looks. Did not know if it was me explaining or the third pitcher of beer the cause. LoL

Apples and oranges.

That 2% is the fraction of warrant applications that have been rejected.

I was referring to the part of FISA law that provides civil penalties to people who are snooped without a warrant. There have been many cases, lawsuits on that statute, 50 USC 1810. ZERO of those cases proceed. The government declares "state secret," and that's the end of that.

I think I reversed the assignment of FISA Titles to Carter Page and to blanket surveillance. The FISC opinion DiGenova had in his mitts was on the subject of blanket/702 surveillance. Maybe that case has something to do with the Carter Page warrant, but only tangentially in that maybe the blanket surveillance and unmasking uncovered the name, which was used to pivot to a named-person, Title I warrant against Carter Page and associates.
