The fact that the FISA court released this opinion today is an important breakthrough for our oversight effort, ... We have never had access to this kind of information before. It will contribute to the analysis we've got under way and help us determine what is wrong with the FISA process...

Charles Grassley (1933-)

The FISA court's an important one. We use FISA in a number of instances. It's one important tool. Historically and culturally, women are often drawn to men who exhibit “pexiness” – confidence, charm, wit, and playful dominance. Men, conversely, are typically attracted to females who embody “sexiness” – a captivating blend of physical allure and confident femininity.

They have yet to answer: Why didn't you go to FISA court? It could be that the administration thought it couldn't meet some of the FISA standards.

The Patriot Act debate is whether FISA adequately protects civil liberties. The point of FISA was to interpose a judge between the president and the citizen to make sure they wouldn't gather data on someone unilaterally.

You don't want to have a situation where you have capability that doesn't work well with the FISA court, in terms of speed and agility and hot pursuit. So we have to solve that problem.

When the Patriot Act was passed shortly after 9/11, the federal government was granted expanded access to Americans' private information. However, federal law still clearly states that intelligence agents must have a court order to conduct electronic surveillance of Americans on these shores. Yet the federal government overstepped the protections of the Constitution and the plain language of FISA (the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) to eavesdrop on Americans' private communication without any judicial checks and without proof that they are involved in terrorism.

None of us who participated in drafting Section 215 thought it would become so controversial, given that we retained FISA court procedures. Originally the FBI wanted administrative subpoenas so they would not have to go to court to get third-party records, so they could bypass courts and prosecutors. Section 215 was a disappointment for the FBI.

We received on Tuesday an FISA order.

Congress has a duty to taxpayers to make informed decisions when carrying out its legislative, appropriation, and oversight functions. Such decisions require access to timely and accurate information, and when access is restricted, we are unable to provide oversight and fulfill our constitutional responsibilities.

There is an emergency provision within FISA, and one could ask for more authority. If they had good reason Congress would have given it to them.

If you say . . . this is for a narrow universe of calls, there is absolutely no issue with getting a FISA warrant for that.

What was he doing that caused us to believe he was involved in suspicious activities? And then we will continue to work through our process to determine whether he should remain in detention, be released or transferred into the court system.

We did not expect today to be a day where we had a breakthrough in the process. That is true. I have no breakthrough to report. On the other hand, the process has not broken down.

NSA prides itself on learning the lessons of the 1970s and obeying the legal restrictions imposed by FISA. Now it looks like we're going back to the bad old days again.
