The FISA court was created to be compromised.

At the time it was formed, some here saw this coming.

Was it W’s plan? I doubt it, but he is clearly a part of it now.

I was opposed to the FISA court from inception. It was ripe for corruption.

secret courts are anathema to america

True. That's why they now exist. FISA courts are a built-in rubber stamp to provide cover for the government.

“FISA/FISC generally operates under the supervision of the Chief Justice of the USSC(?)

https://epic.org/privacy/surveillance/fisa/fisc/

Electronic Privacy Information CenterDefend Privacy.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) was established by Congress in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) of 1978. The role of the FISC is to provide judicial oversight of Intelligence Community activities in a classified setting. The FISC is composed of federal judges appointed by the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, and its decisions can be reviewed by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review (FISCR) and the Supreme Court.

After the FISA Amendments Act of 2008, the FISC has to rule on important and novel Fourth Amendment issues raised by the government’s proposed targeting and minimization procedures. Most of the FISC’s orders and filings are highly classified, but, after the USA Freedom Act, any significant legal interpretations by the court must be made public.

Yep, he appoints Deep State Buddies and is in the clear.

99.99% of Americans have no idea what FISA/FISC even means.
