A judge has a hand in security clearance? Even if it is Sullivan, we’re ruled by black-robed tyrants.
Not directly. CIPA can be used to referee the issue. The judge looks at unredacted material, and rules on relevancy. If the government insists on withholding from defendant, the court is "required" to take the redacted mateial as being disfavorable to the government's position.
The Scooter Libby trial had a significant amount of CIPA action. http://noeasyanswer.blogspot.com/2006/12/pretrial-issues-in-us-v-libby.html

Yes. Tyrants sometimes do things that their serfs enjoy. That does not make it not tyranny.
