In a move that should surprise no one, the FISA court has told the National Security Agency that they can continue spying American cell phones.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to The Hill<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court has granted the National Security Agency (NSA) permission to continue its collection of records on all U.S. phone calls. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence announced the court’s approval in a statement<\/b> late Friday. The court authorizes the program for only limited time periods and requires that the government submit new requests every several months for re-authorization.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"stamp<\/a><\/p>\n

I like that. \u201cWe the FISA Court hereby allow you to spy on all American\u2019s cellphone metadata\/ Don\u2019t worry about that 4th<\/sup> Amendment nonsense or that you haven\u2019t stopped a single terrorist attack, it is OUR Royal judgment that spying on Americans will protect the Political Class from the evils of conservatives and Tea Party members. So it is written, so shall it be done! King Ramses<\/i><\/span> The FISA Court.\u201d<\/p>\n

The existence of the bulk phone data collection was one of the most controversial revelations from the leaks by Edward Snowden.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gee, I wonder why?<\/p>\n

The NSA uses the program to collect records such as phone numbers, call times and call durations on all U.S. phone calls\u2014but not the contents of any conversations, according to the administration.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With the data they\u2019re gathering, they really don\u2019t need<\/a> to hear\/read the contents of the calls\/messages. They can track your every move, who you call\/write, where you shop, pretty much every single aspect of your life. It would be similar to being under 24 hour surveillance. This is why people aren\u2019t so sure Snowden should be strung up from the nearest tree, unlike Manning.<\/p>\n

Numerous lawmakers have expressed outrage at the NSA’s collection of records of millions of Americans who are not suspected of any wrongdoing. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), the original author of the Patriot Act, are working on legislation that would prohibit the NSA from conducting bulk data collection.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I appreciate the recent efforts by the Court and the administration to be more transparent, it is clear that transparency alone is not enough,” Leahy said in a statement. “There is growing bipartisan consensus that the law itself needs to be changed in order to restrict the ability of the government to collect the phone records of millions of law-abiding Americans.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not that I trust Leaky Leahy as far as I can throw him, and Sensenbrenner has been told there was a problem for years, but not only ignored it, he belittle anyone who brought it up. Now he is saying that when he wrote the Patriot Act, (Who\u2019s constitutionality is very suspect), his intent was to prevent this from happening. Excuse me while I disbelieve him. He was warned.<\/p>\n

As for the FISA court? It has shown that it is nothing more then a rubber stamp for the intelligence services and the FBI. Not only should it be shut down, the judges on the court, as well as those who were on the court for at least the last 7 years need to be impeached and removed from the bench. If they have since retired, they should be recalled THEN impeached, removed and stripped of any benefits they have. They have utterly failed in their dutu to protect the constitutional rights of the American People.<\/p>\n
