Talk:Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (view source)
Revision as of 15:22, September 19, 2018
, 15:22, September 19, 2018Overhaul and clarification.
While FISA is usually referred to as a "post-Watergate reform", it really was a post-Hoover reform. Hoover served 7 presidents, and was notorious for illegal spying and blackmail. All 7 presidents feared firing Hoover, FDR & JFK for example, Hoover had evidence of Franklin, Eleanor, Jack and Bobby Kennedy's personal affairs. Bobby Kennedy was appointed AG to try to neutralize Hoover. When Congress created the FISA court to give Judicial oversight of the Executive branch, it was thought an FBI director couldn't blackmail a president anymore. This is what the [[Trump-Russia]] scandal & [[Deep state coup]] amount to, FBI Dir. Comey attempting to blackmail a president again as Hoover was famous for.

==Structural overhaul==
IMO, this page needs a structural overhaul. It should be divided into three sections: (1) basic outline of the law; (2) criticisms, reform efforts and proposals; (3) Obama abuses.
Right, elements outlining recent events are mixed into the Intro, which makes it look and sound like a partisan as attack piece. While Obama's abuses are undeniable and outrageous, the basic structure of the page should be educational about what the law is, and efforts to reform it. A separate Obama abuse section will make it clear why reform is necessary, and if not, why the law should be scrapped. Comments?
