Reply #68: I'm not certain about the secrecy provisions; would they apply to a judge? [View All]

I don't really know how they work, but I know in the case of Congress, those who were told were prevented from telling anyone else, so I was wondering if that might have been the case here too. Perhaps she was forbidden from telling anyone else. Of course, that pretty much indicates that she agrees with the Bush legal arguments in the case, I suppose, or at least that she wasn't willing to challenge them. Again, I feel a lot more info is needed.

As I think about this futher, I wonder about the other FISA judge who resigned on Monday. Did he do so because he did not like the idea of having ruled on cases without the full story on them, or was it something more specifically related to her, as the chief judge of the FISA court? Perhaps he will ultimately fill us in on what the hell is going on.

I think you and I are probably much more in agreement than not. I'm probably just a lot more cautious, is all.
