Secret Appellate Court Meets
The "rule" attached after the article is part of the "new rules" that are the issue being argued ..... the links explain how the government in the last year has compromised the courts fully, in part with this initiative, in Oregon new BAR rules that comply with this federal language. When Ashcroft says "we will use every statute available and under the constitution" blah blah blah he is really saying "notwithstanding" the law, that anything goes now in this country and there is no standard of Law anymore for BAR prosecutors and judges.
The lawsuit filed into the federal court is attached, with supporting information on the incredible deception engaged in to allow the BAR and government to commit crimes and violate the rights of the People are not be held accountable, on rules they write for themselves and pass themselves, all in the global corporate interest....
NOTHING BUT COMPROMISED PEOPLE AND A SYSTEM OF FRAUD AND LIES... WHO WILL STAND AND BE ACCOUNTABLE AND TELL THE PEOPLE THE TRUTH?
The fact that we are even seeing this about this judicial body is result of the heat of Public Scrutiny. THIS IS A GOOD SIGN THEY ARE AFRAID TO ACT IN SECRET PUBLICLY, THEY ARE IN AN UNDEFENDABLE POSITION IF WE HOLD THEIR FEET TO THE FIRE..... TEACH THESE ELITISTS FED JUDGES THEY ARE NOT IMMUNE FOR THEIR CRIMINAL ACTS..... Previous to now, this "court" AUTOMATICALLY OK'd EVERY warrant that was brought to it...... as it says, no court was held before now......
THE MAIN POINT TO REALIZE IS THAT THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS IN SECRET AND WITHOUT PUBLIC SCRUTINY...... ALL THE 'NEW RULES' ARE EFFORTS TO MAKE ONGOING CRIMINAL ACTS BY THE GOVERNMENT APPEAR LEGITIMATE.
IT IS UP TO US TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE, OR THEY WILL NOT BE.
EVER OFFICE OF AUTHORITY KNOWS THESE AGENDAS AND DOES NOT ADMIT NOR STOP ANY ABUSE OF THE PEOPLE...
IT IS CLEAR NOBODY IS GOING TO SAVE US - EVERYONE WITH A COURT CASE NEEDS TO GET RID OF THE BAR AGENT AND START GETTING THE TRUTH IN THE RECORD NOW.
THAT IS HOW IT GOT THIS WAY AND THAT IS WHERE IT CHANGES.

Secret Appellate Court Meets
By JESSE J. HOLLAND
.c The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - A secret appellate court has met for the first time in its 24-year history to consider a request from the Justice Department for more power to wiretap suspected terrorists and spies, according to department officials.
The appeals court, the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review, convened in a high-security room at the Justice Department in Washington Monday and made no announcement of whether it had made a decision.
But senators immediately asked the court to publicly release its decision and the arguments Justice Department lawyers made in front of it, so lawmakers can know how government prosecutors are using the changes to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act granted after the Sept. 11 attacks last year.
``We need to know how this law is being interpreted and applied,'' Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. said Tuesday. No answer had been received from the Monday request, Senate officials said.
The appeal stems from a decision from the main court that assesses the legitimacy of Justice Department and FBI requests to spy on people suspected of foreign espionage inside U.S. borders.
Civil liberties groups denounced the secret nature of the court.
``Hearing a one-sided argument and doing so in secret goes against the traditions of fairness and open government that have been the hallmark of our democracy,'' said Ann Beeson, a litigation director at the American Civil Liberties Union.
When or if the court's ruling on the department's request will ever be made public was not clear.
In August, the secret court struck down a government surveillance request and the government's assertion that national security concerns justify some lessening of previously recognized civil liberties or privacy rights, lawyers said.
The Justice Department had argued that under the new laws, the FBI could use the surveillance law to perform searches and wiretaps ``primarily for a law enforcement purpose, so long as a significant foreign intelligence purpose remains.''
The USA Patriot Act, passed late in 2001, changed the surveillance law to permit its use when collecting information about foreign spies or terrorists is ``a significant purpose,'' rather than ``the purpose,'' of such an investigation. Critics at the time said they feared government might use the change as a loophole to employ espionage wiretaps in common criminal investigations.
A Justice Department official argued to senators Tuesday that the agency still could only use espionage wiretaps against people considered to be foreign spies or working for foreign countries. But Associate Deputy Attorney General David Kris said that there may be times where law enforcement needs to be involved with their work to stop foreign spies and terrorists.
``When we identify a spy or a terrorist, we have to pursue a coordinated, integrated, coherent response,'' Kris said in written remarks to the Senate Judiciary Committee. ``We need all of our best people, intelligence and law enforcement alike, working together to neutralize the threat.''
Senate Republicans and Democrats disagreed on whether they intended the USA Patriot Act to loosen the wiretap laws to include criminal investigations.
``It was not the intent of the amendments to fundamentally change FISA from a foreign intelligence tool into a criminal law enforcement tool,'' Leahy said. ``We all wanted to improve coordination between the criminal prosecutors and intelligence officers, but we did not intend to obliterate the distinction between the two, and we did not do so.''
But Republicans said that was the exact intent of the law. ``It is clear that Congress intended to allow greater use of FISA for criminal purposes and to increase the sharing of intelligence information and coordination of investigations between intelligence and law enforcement officers,'' said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah.

The following is the initiative passed last January, pushed through by Oregon Rep. Ron Wyden. The words "notwithstanding" give "legal rights" to conduct malicious attacks on people without accountability. Note there is no more standard of "penalty of perjury", and the court is no longer a SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH, but is now only a place to convict and render.
