Shouldn’t the Supreme Court weigh in on some of this stuff? IMO this is a constitutional issue of the highest magnitude.



Isn't the problem that no evidence can be presented, even to the Supreme Court, because everything is marked super tip-top maximum secret?

Clapper flat-out lied to congress, he even admitted he did later, and even the few congress members who knew he was lying could not do anything about it because the evidence was top secret.


The argument needs to be made about the secrecy level. It’s really odd if the Supreme Court can’t rule on constitutional issues because “it’s secret”. Then there is no point in a constitution (which was my point)
