It wouldn't be because the massive federal court system which has been in place for centuries is populated by judges who's oath requires them to consider constitutionality first, eh? And why is it that these "intelligence courts" have to be secret? And why is there no recourse for those affected by the work product of decisions and warrants signed by these secret courts?
