The relevant legal standard for evaluating the FISA application is laid out in Franks v. Delaware. “[T]here is, of course, a presumption of validity with respect to the affidavit supporting the search warrant.” 438 U.S. 154, 171.

well, there is a presumption...until there isn't. And then it's a new ball game.

Fat Jerry is an old Marxist from way back.

Check out his background at www.keywiki.org. Search under his name.

And his fight with Al Sharpton raised some interesting questions about who was further left.

I keep reading conflicting information about whether the FISA judges were appointed by Republicans or Democrats. I suspect some of the confusion is: (1) when they were appointed as federal judges v. (2) when they were assigned to the FISA court responsibilities.

Anyone know?

They were mainly Obama appointees I don’t know the reason why but they were.
