between suspected al Qaeda operatives/supporters abroad and individuals, including citizens, residing in the United States. I specialize in the principles of the American founding and how those principles were given effect through the structural provisions of the Constitution. The current controversy over the President's surveillance program, like the controversies over the Boland Amendment in the 1980s, the War Powers Act in the 1970s, and countless other statutory efforts by Congress to limit the President's executive powers, force us to give serious consideration to the Founder's constitutional design. In particular, I think it is important to assess the strength of the competing arguments that have been brought to the Committee's attention by the Congressional Research Service (\"C RS\") 1 and the Department of Justice (\"DOJ\") 2 with respect to whether the President's actions \"violated\" the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (\"FISA\") 3 and, if so, whether the FISA, so interpreted, would be an unconstitutional intrusion upon powers tha t the Constitution confers directly upon the President.","publication_date":"2006,,","publication_name":"SSRN Electronic Journal","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":"104959212"},"document_type":"paper","pre_hit_view_count_baseline":null,"quality":"high","language":"en","title":"The Constitutionality of the NSA Surveillance Program: A Letter to the House Judiciary Committee","broadcastable":false,"draft":null,"has_indexable_attachment":true,"indexable":true}}["work"];

Against the backdrop of a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review (Court of Review) decision that arguably reached an erroneous conclusion about the meaning and scope of FISA’s significant purpose requirement, Congress let stand two restrictions that the Court of Review had placed on the government’s use of FISA. First, the Court of Review held that if the government’s primary purpose was to prosecute, then the government could use FISA only if it intended to prosecute an alleged terrorist or spy for what the court called a “foreign intelligence crime.” The Court of Review also held that the government could not use FISA, even when it intended to prosecute for a foreign intelligence crime, if that crime occurred in the “past.” This Article examines the Court of Review’s decision and argues that the court reached an err...</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{&quot;location&quot;:&quot;wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal&quot;,&quot;work_title&quot;:&quot;FISA’s Significant Purpose Requirement and the Government’s Ability to Protect National Security&quot;,&quot;attachmentId&quot;:90020905,&quot;attachmentType&quot;:&quot;pdf&quot;,&quot;work_url&quot;:&quot;https://www.academia.edu/85271818/FISA_s_Significant_Purpose_Requirement_and_the_Government_s_Ability_to_Protect_National_Security&quot;,&quot;alternativeTracking&quot;:true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/85271818/FISA_s_Significant_Purpose_Requirement_and_the_Government_s_Ability_to_Protect_National_Security"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="1" data-entity-id="5186718" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/5186718/FOREWORD_THE_NSA_AND_THE_LEGAL_REGIME_FOR_FOREIGN_INTELLIGENCE_SURVEILLANCE">FOREWORD: THE NSA AND THE LEGAL REGIME FOR FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE SURVEILLANCE</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="33534" href="https://osu.academia.edu/PeterShane">Peter M Shane</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">I/S: A Journal of Law and Policy for the Information Society, 2014</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">This paper introduces a symposium, published in Volume 10, Issue 2 of I/S: A Journal of Law and Policy for the Information Society, entitled, &quot;NSA Surveillance: Security, Privacy, and Civil Liberty,&quot; which is available at http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/students/groups/is/volume-102/. The paper traces the history of electronic surveillance law by way of explaining how our laws have evolved to a stage where lawyers could plausibly defend the government’s entitlement to capture and store an immense volume of our telephone and online communications, as well as metadata about both. It goes on to introduce the other papers in the symposium and concludes by arguing the importance of executive branch acquiescence in such statutory limits as Congress may impose on national security surveillance as it affects Americans.

Yet the sight of a rear admiral and a lieutenant colonel claiming exemption from the law and from political accountability in pursuit of national security goals&quot; helped focus attention on the fundamental constitutional values implicit in the recent political furor. These values are nothing less than the political accountability of the military and the intelligence services, democratic control of foreign policy, and the rule of law. The assertion by President Reagan and his associates of remarkable executive prerogatives in the area of national security requires us to reconsider who, under the Constitution, is entitled to participate in the creation and implementation of foreign policy and how the distribution of this power between the branches of government preserves the delicate balance between secrecy and democracy.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{&quot;location&quot;:&quot;wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal&quot;,&quot;work_title&quot;:&quot;The Constitution \u0026 National Security: Covert Action In The Age of Intelligence Oversight&quot;,&quot;attachmentId&quot;:95327667,&quot;attachmentType&quot;:&quot;pdf&quot;,&quot;work_url&quot;:&quot;https://www.academia.edu/5672425/The_Constitution_and_National_Security_Covert_Action_In_The_Age_of_Intelligence_Oversight&quot;,&quot;alternativeTracking&quot;:true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/5672425/The_Constitution_and_National_Security_Covert_Action_In_The_Age_of_Intelligence_Oversight"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="6" data-entity-id="30310257" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/30310257/Privacy_and_Civil_Liberties_Oversight_Board_Public_Hearing_on_Section_702_of_the_FISA_Amendments_Act">Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board Public Hearing on Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="57768957" href="https://independent.academia.edu/%D0%90%D1%81%D1%81%D0%BE%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%B0%D1%86%D0%B8%D1%8F%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B9%D0%9E%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%BF%D0%B8%D0%B0%D0%B4">Ассоциация Победителей Олимпиад</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">Submission of Amnesty International USA and the American Civil Liberties Union Amnesty International USA and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) thank the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) for the opportunity to submit this statement for the record regarding the application of international human rights law to US surveillance practices. In this submission, we briefly set out reasons the PCLOB should assess US surveillance practices in an international human rights law framework; summarize key characteristics of Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act; describe international human rights law on the right to privacy; identify human rights concerns with the collection, storage and use of communications under Section 702; and explain that US human rights obligations are legally binding and applicable to US surveillance practices. We conclude by urging the PCLOB to recommend the repeal of Section 702 as well as other measures to substantially reform US surveillance practices.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{&quot;location&quot;:&quot;wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal&quot;,&quot;work_title&quot;:&quot;Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board Public Hearing on Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act&quot;,&quot;attachmentId&quot;:50766967,&quot;attachmentType&quot;:&quot;pdf&quot;,&quot;work_url&quot;:&quot;https://www.academia.edu/30310257/Privacy_and_Civil_Liberties_Oversight_Board_Public_Hearing_on_Section_702_of_the_FISA_Amendments_Act&quot;,&quot;alternativeTracking&quot;:true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/30310257/Privacy_and_Civil_Liberties_Oversight_Board_Public_Hearing_on_Section_702_of_the_FISA_Amendments_Act"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="7" data-entity-id="33488958" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/33488958/Planning_for_Change_Building_a_Framework_to_Predict_Future_Changes_to_the_Foreign_Intelligence_Surveillance_Act">Planning for Change: Building a Framework to Predict Future Changes to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="28426640" href="https://fletc.academia.edu/PatWalsh">Pat Walsh</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">In the last several years, the United States has begun to scrutinize the expansive surveillance powers that were enacted after September 11, 2001. Intelligence surveillance programs previously considered lawful and reliable ways to gather information are being rescinded by Congress, declared unlawful by the courts and restricted by the executive branch. In an era of increasing scrutiny on the intelligence community, national security professionals must look beyond the statutory authorization for intelligence gathering, and evaluate each intelligence program to determine if it will endure past current efforts to restrict government surveillance powers. This article will develop a framework to analyze our current intelligence gathering programs and determine which programs are at risk of removal by future executive, legislative or judicial action. By examining the historical struggle between the intelligence community’s need for broad powers to protect the nation from foreign enemies and our nation’s strong commitment to protecting the civil liberties of citizens from government intrusion, a national security lawyer can determine how our nation has expanded, modified, restricted, and rescinded other intelligence gathering programs to meet the nation’s national security goals. Comparing the history and development with a modern look at how the public and the government have responded to current surveillance powers will illustrate the factors that create an increased risk for an intelligence program to be weakened or eliminated by judicial, legislative, or executive action. Using this framework, a cautious national security professional can carefully decide which of the currently available intelligence collection options are likely to both meet the current collection requirements and also endure the current increased scrutiny on surveillance. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (“FISA”) will change again, and national security professionals must be prepared for these changes.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{&quot;location&quot;:&quot;wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal&quot;,&quot;work_title&quot;:&quot;Planning for Change: Building a Framework to Predict Future Changes to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act&quot;,&quot;attachmentId&quot;:53529412,&quot;attachmentType&quot;:&quot;pdf&quot;,&quot;work_url&quot;:&quot;https://www.academia.edu/33488958/Planning_for_Change_Building_a_Framework_to_Predict_Future_Changes_to_the_Foreign_Intelligence_Surveillance_Act&quot;,&quot;alternativeTracking&quot;:true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/33488958/Planning_for_Change_Building_a_Framework_to_Predict_Future_Changes_to_the_Foreign_Intelligence_Surveillance_Act"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="8" data-entity-id="93246888" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/93246888/Encyclopedia_of_the_Fourth_Amendment">Encyclopedia of the Fourth Amendment</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="187461382" href="https://independent.academia.edu/JohnVile">John Vile</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">2013</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{&quot;location&quot;:&quot;wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal&quot;,&quot;work_title&quot;:&quot;Encyclopedia of the Fourth Amendment&quot;,&quot;attachmentId&quot;:96036851,&quot;attachmentType&quot;:&quot;pdf&quot;,&quot;work_url&quot;:&quot;https://www.academia.edu/93246888/Encyclopedia_of_the_Fourth_Amendment&quot;,&quot;alternativeTracking&quot;:true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/93246888/Encyclopedia_of_the_Fourth_Amendment"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="9" data-entity-id="99809899" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/99809899/The_NSA_s_mass_surveillance_program_illegal_and_opaque">The NSA’s mass surveillance program: illegal and opaque</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="230812549" href="https://independent.academia.edu/ToniLocy">Toni Locy</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">2015</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">On May 7th a panel of judges of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled that the National Security Agency’s bulk collection of telephone metadata violated the law.
