RE: A legal path to prosecution of the Deep State conspiracy - Military tribunals
our security laws and community need to be completely rebuilt...
things have to be defined constitutionally, not on the whims of foreign born and foreign thinking presidents elected by welfare parasites and guvmint burrocrats
clearly all these secret courts violate due process on their face
if you're spying on a foreign spy, you've got a reason to keep the spying secret; past that I wan to get a post on the subject along the lines of that security discussion
if someone is a foreign spy, get a regular warrant, arrest them and hang them. We defeated the Germans without a FISA court.
We were spaying on them, too

FDR had the FBI spying on domestic Nazis and Communists from 1936 on.
I can't get that link to load, is it a court ruling?
George Washington had his spies.
a pdf; here is the wiki

although the ruling is about military tribunals, the saboteurs were caught based on domestic spying (Batvinis, Origins of FBI Counterintelligence)
part of the reason I don't give more clear cut answers is that these are questions I've been working on for 4 years...;>
yup, there is a lot to untangle there, I will have to read a lot more, one question that seems important already though is the question of, is there actually a legally declared war going on right now? That seemed an important factor in the courts decision at the time.
that depends on whether you count the NDAA as a lawfully declared war or not. both are done by Congress.
But I don't know, I've never had the time to dig into NDAA, the War Powers Act, and the Constitution itself w/ regards to the other things.
And it depends on the broad strokes (Congress said so!) versus the technicalities of word phrasing (NDAA doesn't count as a "declaration)
I'm afraid I don't have an opinion; I think I'd go with the broad strokes ATM (if somebody demanded my judgement), but we are so far away from a Constitutionally sound method of keeping us safe atm, that it's all semantics to me at this point.
