I can think of one way to lighten the load - shut down the FISC entirely. It appears to be an unconstitutional star chamber at this point, so it has no right to exist.


Instead the beltway swampers jammed through Congress reapproval of the FISC in bipartisan manner. Fully knowing that the obama admin had abused the FISA system massively and it was time to pump the breaks and take a look at the system. Disgraceful. Downright Treasonous.

That conflates "the tool" with "abuse of the tool." Mind you, I think the tool itself is useless, but it is theoretically possible the useless tool be used honestly.

The paradigm shift I'd loike to see is the presumtion relating to the government. The government asserts it is entitled to a presumption of honesty and integrity. I disagree, emphatically. The government has demonstrated over a long period of time that it is dishonest and corrupt.
