The FISA court rubber stamps (a statistical fact) Federal investigator requests. This serves two purposes. 1) Gives the public the false impression that their 4th amendment rights are being protected. 2) Subverts the 4th amendment.
Its 1978 creation was a stroke of genius. What better way to rob citizens of their constitutional right to privacy than to create an agency designed to sign them away under the guise of protecting them.
Maybe we should start a juror protest group. It works like this. ALL non-violent crime gets a not guilty verdict until the government starts prosecuting corporate crime. No fines. No not admitting guilt. Some real jail time and confiscation of personal property and wealth to pay back the injured parties.
Ultimately the government will maneuver to invalidate juries and allow their corporate friends to continue their crime spree. Heck they already made their own laws do time travel with "retroactive immunity". The bank foreclosure crimes were a perfect example of government and media working to protect the banks.
Fortunately, citizens are becoming aware of the problem.
