system's courtroom advocacy is monumentally one-sided.
*
* The court has never formally rejected an application. Not once.
*
* For the first time in modern U.S. history, the Congress had
* institutionalized a process for physical searches outside of
* Fourth Amendment standards.
*
* Not even Congress' intelligence oversight committees review these
* special cases on a regular basis.
Mini-recap:
o Congress voted into existence a court that bypasses our normal
Fourth Amendment constitutional rights. Poof they're gone.
o Congressional oversite is weak.
Such a special court should be subject to the
highest standard of continual scrutiny: it is not.

! Walter G. Deeley, NSA deputy director for communications security

! was the continuous review of NSA's activities by the Senate and House
! intelligence committees."
Congressional oversite in real-time was non-existent.
Remember Ronald "I am a Contra" Reagan?

# Dear [Guy],
#
# Your letter of February 25th in which you inquired about the
# association between Mr. Frank Varelli and the FBI has been received.
#
# An internal FBI inquiry is currently ongoing into the activities of
# an Agent associated with Mr. Varelli who left the FBI following an earlier
# administrative inquiry. For that reason, it would be premature at this
# point to respond to any questions concerning the matter.
#
# Sincerely,
#
# William M. Baker
# Assistant Director
# Office of Congressi
