In reply to the discussion: FISA & EPCA the facts & nothing more [View all]giftedgirl77
(4,713 posts)41. I didn't preach to blind trust, nor is anything I said opinon based
Everything is all pulled directly from FISA and the USC which governs the FISC & FISCOR, Jack Balkin is making speculation as to what they think may be occuring within the program while ignoring what the letter of the law states. As you will see in Greenwalds article where he makes the statements regarding the law, then it drifts over into italaics and they say well this really could happen this way.
You can take it in whatever way shape or form you wish, the bottom line is, the FISC, FISCOR, & FISA are laid out clear as day for anyone to read. The fact that people are allowing Greenwald to twist it up into whatever twisted way he sees fit is nuts.
I do not write for journalistic flair, the law is the law and you are way off.
