The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act was passed in 1978 and revised a few weeks ago. This law creates a SECRET COURT, to which the government has to go to get a rubber-stamped warrant to conduct surveillance on foreigners on US soil.
The ACLU sued to get access to proceedings held by this court. Unsurprisingly, the attempt has failed. It’s an interesting case to have a look at. If you’re interested, check out the court’s decision, the government’s brief, or the following news stories: here, and here.
