In Secret, Court Vastly Broadens Powers of NSA<\/strong> WASHINGTON \u00e2\u20ac\u201d In more than a dozen classified rulings, the nation\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s surveillance court has created a secret body of law giving the National Security Agency the power to amass vast collections of data on Americans while pursuing not only terrorism suspects, but also people possibly involved in nuclear proliferation, espionage and cyberattacks, officials say.<\/p>\n The rulings, some nearly 100 pages long, reveal that the court has taken on a much more expansive role by regularly assessing broad constitutional questions and establishing important judicial precedents, with almost no public scrutiny, according to current and former officials familiar with the court\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s classified decisions.<\/p>\n The 11-member Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, known as the FISA court, was once mostly focused on approving case-by-case wiretapping orders. But since major changes in legislation and greater judicial oversight of intelligence operations were instituted six years ago, it has quietly become almost a parallel Supreme Court, serving as the ultimate arbiter on surveillance issues and delivering opinions that will most likely shape intelligence practices for years to come, the officials said.<\/p>\n Last month, a former National Security Agency contractor, Edward J. Snowden, leaked a classified order from the FISA court, which authorized the collection of all phone-tracing data from Verizon business customers. But the court\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still-secret decisions go far beyond any single surveillance order, the officials said.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve seen a growing body of law from the court,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d a former intelligence official said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What you have is a common law that develops where the court is issuing orders involving particular types of surveillance, particular types of targets.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n In one of the court\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s most important decisions, the judges have expanded the use in terrorism cases of a legal principle known as the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153special needs\u00e2\u20ac\u009d doctrine and carved out an exception to the Fourth Amendment\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s requirement of a warrant for searches and seizures, the officials said…more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So how many times have you heard people say, rather mock “There’s no Star Chamber, or secretive group working around our government and Constitution.
