The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which was created by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to exercise authority over the surveillance activities of the United States government, reportedly has been issuing rulings that assess broad constitutional questions and establish judicial precedents, all without oversight. Among the most important is the court’s carving out of an exception to the requirement for a warrant for searches and seizures as laid out in the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Good luck Chief Justice Roberts will do EVERYTHING to have the court avoid this at all costs as HE is the one WHO appoints those Fisa Court Judges do some research Roberts was appointed BECAUSE he wrote position papers for the G.W. or basically internally to the Bush administration in support of Unitarianism or go it alone executive branch power supporting executive decisions on rendition and surveillance powers and expansion.
IF this reaches the High Court Chief Justice Roberts will have to recuse himself from hearing and casting his judicial lot in the Ruling phase because of his views clearly documented on record and conflict of interest .
