Attorneys for a 20-year-old man accused of trying to ignite a bomb in Chicago will not be allowed unprecedented access to secret intelligence court records, a U.S. appeals court ruled on Monday, reversing a trial court and handing a victory to the federal government.

After seeing what the government had on Daoud ... and after seeing what the government had on them ... the judges of the appellate court rendered their decision.

"Since Congress created the FISA court in 1978, no defense attorneys had been told they could go through a FISA application — until U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman's January 29 ruling in Daoud's case. At the time, she said the fact that no judge had ever granted such FISA access before wasn't a reason not to do it now."

An Obama appointee. IMHO, FISA is nothing but a Star Chamber. Look at the history of their orders, as reported to the Congress every year. Over 99% of the cases referred to them are granted. Rubber stamp.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
