I, /u/scotladd, hereby petition the Court for a writ of certiorari seeking Court review of, and relief from the FISA Act of 1978, and the process therein by which American citizens are unlawfully and unconstitutionally targeted for surveillance and wiretapping scrutiny. The FISA Act established a protocol for the gathering of physical and electronic surveillance and collection of "foreign intelligence information" between "foreign powers" and "agents of foreign powers". The FISA Act established a closed federal court where the Defendant is able to unconstitutionally request warrants for large groups of United States citizens at any one time, in cases where no case or controversy exists, no adversary is present, no plaintiff is being sued, and no defendant is being prosecuted for a crime. This violates the Constitution in several ways. Article III, Sec. 2 states "The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;—to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;—to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;—to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;—to Controversies between two or more States;—between a State and Citizens of another State;—between Citizens of different States;—between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects." This section establishes the need for a conflict to allow the FISA court jurisdiction to award the warrants the Defendant seeks. Since the conflict does not exist, it has no jurisdiction to approve the warrants. Furthermore, the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution explicitly requires specificity in warrant applications, and thereby forbids broad general warrants, without cause. It sates "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." As these warrant applications are broad in scope, listing no specific item to be searched for other than to examine a pattern or communication by large groups of people, over large swaths of time, and then store this information in some capacity for future warrantless searches, they are unconstitutional. Therefor, I hope you will find warrants issued under the FISA Act of 1978 in violation of Article II, Section 2, as well as a violation of the Fourth Amendment protections of the Constitution of the United States. Thank you.
