Where did I say that? Where did I say they do nothing regular courts don’t do? Where did I talk about sealing proceedings? All I did is observe that the regular courts issue warrants in an ex parte setting with at rates that would also make them rubber stamps.
I see. I’m wrong about things I’ve never said. That’s good to know.
You’ll also note that I said that “most of what the FISC does is grant warrants,” not that this is the only thing it does. It also does other things like review appeals, but the tech-dirt piece seems clearly targeted at warrants since you rubber stamp applications, and not controversies. But if you think that most of what the FISC does is not related to granting warrants, what do you think it does, and how do you think these matters are brought before them?
Thanks. Article III judges can be removed via impeachment (which is entirely different from firing someone, since people can be fired for pretty much any reason), for as Chief Justice John Roberts can be removed, but you’ll note that tech-dirt calls Roberts “a single guy appointed to a lifetime position.” You should leave a comment there telling him that Roberts can indeed be fired. And hey, if we’re adopting your impeachment=firing standard, by that measure Presidents can be fired, too.
A for confidence, indeed.
