Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      In advance of 702 hearing, here's my post on Rosemary Collyer's shitty 702 opinion. https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/05/30/the-problems-with-rosemary-collyers-shitty-upstream-702-opinion/ … Summary:

      1) FISC keeps making rulings on 702 w/o #s to back assumptions abt what actually impacts USPs, even tho Congress wants same #s.

      2) Collyer didn't seem to understand that USP domestic comms got (and may still get) collected as single comms, not just MCTs.

      3) Collyer might have avoided this problem had she FOLLOWED THE LAW (USAF requiring consideration of amicus). But she didn't.

      4) Collyer also didn't define key terms. Where she did, ("active user") she did so in ways that utterly dodge key impacts (is user plural?)

      5) In same breath as she described how entirely domestic comms will still be collected, she approved back door searches of those comms.

      6) Unlike past judges, Collyer didn't use1809(a)(2) to force NSA to destroy illegally obtained comms. NSA gets to keep it and the reports.

      So that's JUST the problems w/current state of 702. 704 has even bigger problems. (Most civ libs apparently don't even know it exists.)

          Collection on Americans who're overseas. It's totally out of control. Only affects like 300 Americans, but still, a shitshow.

          Who are these 300? Tourists or expats?
