Government Says Secret Court Opinion on Law Underlying PRISM Must Stay Secret
Wow.   Just wow.Not only do we have a star chamber, but we can't even be allowed to see what laws they have concluded are Unconstitutional.Any facade of a functioning democracy, or of a commitment to transparency by this government, is swept away.It also gets to something Scalia said in oral argument in Clapper v. Amnesty International, namely that we should trust the FISC to address 4th Amendment issues.  It makes me wonder if he knew about the decision before the case reached the court.But without such access to case law determining what is Unconstitutional, how can we know what the law is?  Where is due notice in this?
