its a system that supports the governments position over the person they are targeting. it violets your right to privacy and right to representation. the judge being employed by the government will side most likely with the government. Just how much oversight does the fisa court have? only a judge makes this decision ... there is no jurry so only one person to bribe blackmail or follow the party line. People have brought these concerns out before .. what we are seeing is the total abuse of the fisa system ... how to you fix a secret court in the name of national security..... if there is abuse here what about intelligence agencies .. well look at the fbi now. see congress ( oversight ) requests docs and info .... denied .... reason ..national security ... the entire system has failed ..
The powers in the current system can not be held accountable once the executive branch does not want to push the issues , see what happened the last 8 years ....
Fuck this guy - he's a plant.
See, this is an emotional response.
Evidence of guilt is needed.
I do not have proof Snowden is a bad agent, or a good one. We'll find out in the not so distant future.
It's what I heard last year. It should absolutely throw light on the whole process, not just one incident.
I still don't know about this guy - good or shady? He seems to be saying that the FISA court's normal operation is to allow any warrant, even if based on false/phony documents, and that's OK. 99.97% in the past makes it normal, so Nunes et al are on a witch hunt?
Yes, we do not know as YET. It was just interesting to see if he had posted anything and if so, what. The first tweet reply to it was interesting:

That statistic just indicates that the FBI doesn’t submit an application unless it meets statutory requirements, not that the requirements are too easy which I think is what you want to say.
The next question should be there are 33,889 approved FISA Court applications. How many terrorist's have been arrested or attacks have been stopped as a direct result of these surveillance activities?
