Indeed.
FISA should NOT be used against an AMERICAN citizen, period........................
I would run the Damned thing thru the shredder. But that’s too Nancy. Let the funding expire. Let it wither on the vine.
FISA should be eliminated.
Secret courts have no place in a free country.
Our Man Don
The one who was the VICTIM of the outrageous, despicable abuse of the US intelligence assets, NEVER intended to be used against Americans, much less the elected President
The entire American Stasi-plex should be dismantled over this
No secret courts in USA!
I wouldn’t give them the 30 days. They spent that time on the coup already.
Time to collect the interest now ...
The penalty for abuse must be death
The institutionalized abuse of the FISA court was baked in the cake when the Patriot Act was signed. Well intentioned and all that feel-good talk doesn’t stop the tyrants in government from abusing anything and everything they can.
Bravo!
Trump’s situation, what they did to him - it shows just what they can do to ANY of us if we don’t agree with the elitist lefty fascists. And as proven by their weaponizing of the IRS against political dissidents, they will use this against Americans again.
Maybe we need to get rid of secret courts altogether.
Trump has to fire Barr now or he will pay a huge price. Barr wants to hang drapes and keep right on going with FISA as is.
HalleluYah!
Go team go!
Paul instead suggests that intelligence gatherers be required to get approval from a "Constitutional, Article 3 court" to surveil American citizens.
Congress established FISC, which makes it a bona-fide Article 3 court. All of the judges assigned are senate approved for life, literally part of the Article 3 court system.
Congress could establish the same secretive system (it has established ways to deal with classified info in criminal and civil courts) that exists for FISC, and assign it to say the District Court for DC.
The problem though is not in the system. It is that so much happens outside the system. The system is there to legitimize the illegitimate. No amount of law passing will curtail the snooping excesses. Like gun control does not contain the criminals, laws do not contain the government.
The government is out of control, it is incapable of controlling itself, and it has proven this over and over and over.
Bring the Hammer! Impeach Roberts. He oversees FISA. The abuse happened on his watch. He has GROTESQUELY FAILED the country. He must go.
Can Trump just let them expire? I think there is no reforming them.
But wait a minute! All they need do is to target a foreigner “seemingly close” to an American as a segue into the same old abuses to then ago after the American and anyone associated. There needs to be some serious oversight on the basis for the dweeb justice signing off on these things. Perhaps needs to be signed off by 3 or more justices, with serious consequences if not supported by factual data, whatever, and then hang ‘em all if flagrant, political, illegal, lacks the stated basis, etc.
