Yeah, it's not as if the FISA court judges are all appointed by John Roberts himself.

Anyone who isn't outraged by this is not only not paying attention, they're just a plain old moron.



That Roberts, what a jerk. It's not enough for him to rule over one court, he has to go around picking the people in charge of other courts, too. What gives him the right?


based on Robert's own writings, I do not think he would be terribly upset if they would put the power of appointments back to the Presidency.

I for one would like it because it would force the Administration to accept some responsibility for the courts, something it can easily distance itself from now. They currently get all the benefits without the repercussions, going to be hard to make them accept both


Watch the comments on Ars, they won't be all that outraged. Something funny is going on over there. They are learning to love Statism and its philosophies.
