These spy court facts are a little too fast. Several major errors and omissions. @normative/906156864093741056
-
1. The FISC hasn't met in a secure room at DOJ since 2009. It has a special courtroom at the E Barrett Prettyman courthouse. @normative
-
@normative 2. FISC rejected an application for a FISA black-bag job break-in/search during the Reagan administration (at DOJ's request!)
-
@normative 3. And its timeline of key events includes some trivial ones, omits some huge ones, e.g. approving bulk email metadata program in 2004, ...
-
@normative bulk phone metadata collection in 2006, the 2007 turmoil over Stellarwind content collection, 2002 raw take order, etc etc
-
@normative 4. To say nothing of the compliance problem rulings of Obama years .... in short, @CNN, this list is not "what you need to know" about FISC.
-
@normative @CNN 5. Oh, also, the very controversial way FISC judges get selected, resulting in partisan lineup. & USA Freedom reform to secret law aspect
