What about Your FISA Judges, Justice Roberts?
americanthinker ^ | November 26, 2018 | By Daniel John Sobieski

As long as we are on the subject of whether there is such an animal as an "Obama judge," let us consider the judges who sit on the FISA court and issue warrants allowing surveillance of American citizens who are suspected foreign agents, essentially taking the uncontested word of the government.

Their actions on behalf of one political campaign, colluding with a corrupt DOJ and FBI to target a political opponent, are not supposed to happen in a country based on the rule of law as administered by supposedly impartial judges. Empowered to safeguard our national security against foreign actors, they essentially served as an extra-constitutional arm of the Hillary Clinton campaign as it colluded with foreign actors to stage a Deep-State coup against a duly elected president, Donald J. Trump? Aiding and abetting the legacy of Barack Obama seems like something an "Obama judge" would do.

Chief Justice Roberts is the one who gets to appoint judges to the FISA court – every last one of them, judges like Rudolph Contreras, who granted a previously denied Michael Flynn FISA warrant. His appointees are the ones who swallowed whole the contentions of the Obama administration using unverified material put together by a British agent and his Russian sources to aid one political party at the expense of another.

The FISA court and its star chamber judges make for a borderline example of the prophetic warning about trading a little liberty for a little security and winding up with neither. The potential abuse of FISA powers is enormous, and the damage that has been done to our republic and our politics has been staggering.

Violating the Constitution constitutes “bad behavior” as far as I’m concerned.

You are absolutely correct.

A problem I always had was how Roberts filled the position left open by Rehnquist and immediately became chief justice over others with a lot more experience and seniority.


That happens because appointments are so contentious. One confirmation instead of two.

The only logical conclusion one can make when confronted by mountains of evidence that the fix was in for the 2016 election but moreso since then with the coup conspiracy by officials of the DOJ, FBI, CIA and NSA. The legitimacy of these institutions is now compromised. This is banana republic stuff folks. The corruption of the Clinton’s and their supporters is breathtaking.

No judge may be appointed to this court more than once, and no judge may be appointed to both the Court of Review and the FISA court. As of 2017, Chief Justice John Roberts has appointed all of the current judges, four of whom were nominated to their District Court judgeships by a Democratic President.

In spite of John Roberts' lies, noting where his FISC appoints come from is an indicator of both their politics and lack of concern for the law.

He also tells them what to do in those cases with politics involved, which is why his Silence on this matter is a CONFESSION!!

Can a Chief Justice be impeached?

Like Antonin Scalia?

Nice article, but nothing is going to change. The government is as corrupt as a wooden nickel. The only way that it will change is with strong leadership.

Trump was a start, but I see that his push and mandate is sputtering out.

Hillary, Lois learner, Clapper, and their ilk are not only free, but in many cases still at the government till. They are smug because they know that it is just a matter of a few years and they will be back in charge... and when that happens, they will make sure that another Trump wave never reoccurs.

Thanks dennisw. IOW, Roberts is an Obama judge in all but name.

In Robert's case there really isn't much difference between an Obama judge and a Bush judge...

Roberts has proven himself to be an ass of enormous proportion.
