Poll question: From 1979 to the present, how many FISA requests have been refused? (POLL)
Edited on Tue Jan-24-06 07:50 PM by MercutioATC
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) was first enacted in 1978. Since it first began receiving applications for warrants in 1979 (over 18,000 applications through 2004) how many times has it failed to issue the requested warrant?


(here's a link to the correct answer)

1. I can just hear the right-wingnuts spin this,

4. I thought it was 6?
But the big beef * has is that something like 127 have had to be "Changed" before they would approve them.
