To the Editor:
The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has surely fallen halfway through the LookingGlass--or half that court's members have fallen all the way through. They argue that Americans--who aren't allowed to know that they are suffering searches--still enjoy freedom from unreasonable search, because those searches happened through due process of law--in secret. The Fisa Amendment doesn't need to be interpreted and it doesn't need to be fixed. It needs to be repealed. It is inimical to legitimate democracy.
