Obama Proves Snowden’s Point

38. They should end the FISA Court and require the NSA to go to ordinary

judges in the civil, Article III courts to request orders or subpoenas. The subpoenas should be kept confidential for a maximum of two years during which investigations should be conducted and closed and the targets of the investigations should either be indicted and tried or renounced publicly if they are overseas (so that innocent people don't get caught in their nets of deception or whatever), and innocent people should be informed that they were investigated and no charges are being brought.

Let's get rid of secret courts and secret subpoenas altogether. They serve no purpose other than to give too much power to a select few. They encourage prosecutors and the FBI to work on whims and to persecute based on their personal predilections, personal and political. The Siegelman case has nothing to do with eavesdropping but is as is the senator from Alaska just one case in which we have seen prosecutorial overrreach and persecution based on politics and personal vendettas. I'm sure there are lots more examples. Those two are among the best known.

Let's get some light and air into the darkness and stink at the NSA.
