Power corrupts, Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

FISA courts have the power to bypass and subvert the constitutional authority of the 3 branches of the federal government. How much power is that?

Power corrupts, Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

I would disagree with Acton's statement to this degree...
It is not power that corrupts. It is power without accountability that corrupts absolutely.

Power is inherent in the political process. It is the lack of accountability that destroys.
