High Court Urged To Make Foreign Intel Court Rulings Public
Law360 (April 19, 2021, 9:52 PM EDT) -- The American Civil Liberties Union on Monday urged the U.S. Supreme Court to consider whether the public has a First Amendment right to access the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court's rulings on the scope of U.S. government surveillance stemming from foreign intelligence probes.
In the latest salvo in a legal battle dating back to 2013, the ACLU, Columbia University's Knight First Amendment Institute and Yale Law School's Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic asked the high court to consider for the first time whether the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court must disclose redacted versions of its rulings regarding the government's bulk...

The American Civil Liberties Union is asking the Supreme Court to provide access to the rulings of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, arguing there is a First Amendment right to access the classified decisions on the legality of obtaining wiretaps and other surveillance against Americans allegedly tied to foreign intelligence threats.
The secretive FISA court, first established by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, has almost never released any of its decisions, though it has been thrust into the spotlight in recent years, especially following a Justice Department watchdog report that harshly criticized the FBI’s actions in obtaining a FISA warrant and three renewals against Trump campaign associate Carter Page while relying upon a discredited dossier compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele.

Civil liberties groups on Monday asked the Supreme Court to consider whether Americans have a right to access decisions handed down by the secretive foreign intelligence court that has played a central role amid the government’s expanded mass surveillance efforts over the past two decades.
The groups, which include the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), argued in their brief that the once-narrow role of the court associated with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) ballooned following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and that its portfolio now has “profound implications for individual rights.”
“It’s crucial to the legitimacy of the foreign intelligence system, and to the democratic process, that the public have access to the court’s significant opinions,” said Theodore Olson, a former solicitor general under President George W. Bush, who is signed onto the case.
