First that 99.999% of spying on citizens should be automatically denied. Secondly in the extremely rare instances when it's granted it gets cleared by regular Article 3 courts with an adversarial "defense" counsel there to protect the rights of the person who would be spied upon. Third the facts of the spying be immediately made public upon the expiration of the warrant. Fourth, monetary compensation for abuse victims and removal/prosecution of those who abuse the system. Fifth, every single approval gets reviewed by the appropriate committees of both houses of Congress before it takes effect.
1) Okay so as there were about 1,300 warrants applied for in the most recent year I see that means .0001% means one approved warrant every century or so. That’s dumb.
2) the FISA court is an article 3 court, so you got your wish.
3) there is no adversarial defense counsel for any warrant application anywhere, nor does that even make any sense.
4) that doesn’t happen for any other warrant either and I’m struggling to see what that would do other than harm people found not to be doing anything wrong. What a horrible idea.
5) I agree those subject to government abuse should be compensated and those who commit abuse punished.
6) congress has no time to do this and they are not equipped with the relevant understanding of the law nor the time and staff to do this. Dumb idea.
