Presenting The Location Of The NSA’s Secret FISA Court
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/31/2013 18:25 -0400
The nation’s spy court has begun operations in a new, secure space on the third floor of the E. Barrett Prettyman Courthouse in downtown Washington, ending its 30-year run of issuing secret warrants from within the Justice Department, according to three sources connected to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court who spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing the strict secrecy surrounding it.
The court reviews government applications to conduct electronic surveillance and physical searches in terrorism and espionage investigations. It’s unclear when the court first convened in its new home, but anyone walking down the hallway in the past few weeks could have guessed the $2 million courtroom was primed for business.
“Restricted Access” signs and biometric hand scanners guard the super-sensitive proceedings.
Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd declined to discuss the move, as did court officials.
Chief Judge Royce Lamberth of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, who served on the FISA court from 1995 through 2002, and Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, the current chief FISA judge, were the driving forces behind the move.
Lamberth says uprooting the court from the Justice Department symbolizes its independence, though critics say the move will have little impact on the judges’ deference to the government.
Justice Department reports show the court signs off on the vast majority of applications.

Dr. Taitz
After I waw unable to locate the court decision that I overheard on Feb 26, 2013 ,I realized it was in FISA court. So I found out it was Judge Dearie who presided. I sent him a USB drive of all of the evidence that I had that the agents were manufacturing evidence against me. The amazing this is that he wrote back that he was not working on this right now but forwarded the USB drive to the Eastern District judge. This Fisa court is not just for “terrorists” but for political targets. This law needs great improvements – like oversight. This law takes away due process from good citizens and invites agents to lie in order to meet their political goals.

Judge Lambert is not to be relied to give government back to public knowledge and certainly not to expedite any charges dealing with Obama. There are snakes and their are gofers. I take Lambert to be more like a snake.
