Granted, there must be some continuity in government procedures from administration to administration, but…
The Obama Department of Justice is requesting extension of some of the “Patriot Act” provisions which are about to expire.
The BLT (it’s not a sandwich!) tells us about it in “House Democrats Question Renewal of Patriot Act Provisions.” One of the provisions deals with extending certain search warrants under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. That Court is a secret Court, don’t forget. The DOJ has never used this power, but a committee of Congress heard testimony that those warrants “…meet an investigative need.”
Meets a need which has never arisen?
That doesn’t much sound like a change in DOJ policy from the last administration.
Trust, but verify.
