The USA must have 0 secret courts, including FISA and this one. We’re becoming North Korea.

My placing the whole matter as a “trade” issue, and not a true “legal” issue, the Biden cabal thinks it was alright and legit to create a U.S. court, by executive order alone, with no action by Cpngress. And the Dims claim “democracy” is in peril without them.

On what authority is this exec order based? Constituition offers Article III and Article I courts, but none via Article II, the executive.

... “Officially known as the Data Protection. Review Court, it was authorized in an October 2022 executive order to fix a collision of European and American law that had been blocking the lucrative flow of consumer data between American and European companies for three years.

The court’s eight judges were named last November, including former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. Its existence has allowed companies to resume the lucrative transatlantic data trade with the blessing of EU officials....”

Congress should ban all funding for this court until congressional hearings are held, some openly and all the risks and warts are exposed.

The so called oversight of this is the PCLOB...a sham group created by Obama ...

Mysterious privacy board touted by Obama has deep government ties
Guardian ^ | 6/21/13 | Dan Roberts

The body charged by President Obama with protecting the civil liberties and privacy of the American people exists in shadows almost as dark as the intelligence agencies it is designed to oversee. The Privacy & Civil Liberties Board (PCLOB) was due to meet Obama at the White House on Friday afternoon at 3pm in the situation room to discuss growing concerns over US surveillance of phone and internet records – or, at least, that´s what unnamed “senior administration officials” said would happen. The meeting did not appear on the president´s official diary issued to journalists, nor has
