The secret FISA court approved 99.97% of surveillance requests over 33 years — including spying on a sitting judge — documented evidence
🟢 CONFIRMED

Between 1979 and 2012, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court received 33,900 surveillance requests and denied only 11 — a 99.97% approval rate. The court operates in total secrecy with no adversarial process. Declassified opinions revealed the FBI used Section 702 to surveil a sitting state court judge who had complained about civil rights violations by a police chief. The court has been called 'the most one-sided legal process in the United States.'

What They Said Was Crazy
The FISA Court is the most one-sided legal process in the United States. It makes a mockery of the Fourth Amendment.
