GOP Rep. Devin Nunes of Calif., chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, may invite Chief Justice John Roberts to testify before the panel on alleged FISA abuses.
Nunes told radio host and Republican wise man Hugh Hewitt Thursday that committee Republicans have entertained the idea, as Roberts appoints all FISA judges, but cautioned no decision has yet been made. Hewitt and Nunes discussed the idea in connection with the committees memo on the secret intelligence courts, which alleged the FBI sought authorization to surveil President Donald Trumps campaign aides on the basis of political opposition research.
Now the chief justice appoints the FISA judges, Hewitt said. Have you had a chance to chat with him or any of the FISA judges about what went on at the FISA court with regard to the [Carter] Page application?

Still waiting for u to tell us who does have oversight of FISA courts.
If not Roberts, the who?
Either the FISA judges who approved this were complicit or lied to. Either way they will be outraged or will feign outrage. I would think at least one of the four will take action against the perjured applications submitted by the FBI. By floating this Nunes will put all four into CYA overdrive.
Wonderful work, America is being destroyed from within. It will be saved by Americans from within. Thank you for your research.
Is the Pope Marxist?
See post #34
I agree, unfortunately the House and the Senate is gutless to do anything with regard to FISA.
Why did Roberts have to swear Hussein in twice, the second time in private in the White House?
LOL!
How about, Is the Pope an atheist?
Question Number ONE:
Mr. Chief Justice, under penalty of misleading the Congress of the United States, have you ever in your present capacity been compelled, coerced, or blackmailed by present or past agents of the Government of the United States with regards to cases under your jurisdiction?
No, Roberts is compromised!
Signs point to YES.
;-)
“...SCOTUS is a co-equal branch of government and is not obligated to recognize or submit to a congressional subpoena.”
Is not the Executive a co-equal branch? Is the President obligated to appear before a grand jury?
I would think Congress.
They create the courts, and they created the FISA court.
While he’s there ask him who threatened him if he didn’t decide Obamacare was a tax!
FISA , SCOTUS ...what does it matter? Judges are judges. They will all protect each other.
He won’t answer but my hunch is we knew all along past admins have had something on Roberts.
aren’t 10/11 Obama appointees?
And that right there is the end of the article for me, but I did get a good belly laugh.
