Judicial oversight
One of the fundamental tenants of dictatorial control is invasion of the privacy and thoughts of the citizens. The administration has closely guarded its program to spy on American citizens. This is done in the name of national security. In the old days law enforcement ran their projects by a judge to assure that there was a legitimate reason for this private invasion by the government. This system worked well for prosecuting organized crime in the US. Later the process was refined to avoid critical delay in terrorist investigation. A special Court trained to address these types of warrant requests related to national security became on call 24/7. Law enforcement could present the warrant 48 hours after the fact for retroactive approval if necessary.
Unrestricted and unapproved discretion by the government agents has not worked.
1. A New York governor was subject to phone and computer tapping and teams of FBI agents tailing him on numerous occasions in hopes of catching him committing a misdeamor by having sex with a prostitute because he was “High Profile”.
2. Senator Obama’s passport records were invaded on three separate occasions. A computer alarm went off each time because a warning system was installed years ago when President Bill Clinton’s private records were accessed.
3. None of the alarms were reported to management, much less to the public.
4. Ironically, the matter was brought up by the press.
5. As a result of the outing by the press, our government has now discovered that the private records of Senators Clinton and McCain have been reviewed.
Our democracy requires the check and balance of judicial oversight which is demonstrated over and over by the tiny amount of visibility we have of the convert efforts of our government. Blake Bailey
