Roberts Confirmation: FISA
Court National Security Surveillance

Judge John G. Roberts, in the first round of questioning in his confirmation
process to be Chief Justice of the United States, exhibited a cautious approach
when confronted by Sen. Mike Dewine, R-Ohio, over the secretive Foreign
Intelligence Suveillance Act (FISA) court. The court, created in 1978 and
modified in 2001 by the USA Patriot Act, reviews requests by the intelligence

In his recent op-ed for Global Beat Syndicate, Steven C. Welsh,
CDI research analyst and legal scholar, argues that U.S. Senators and Supreme
Court nominee Judge John G. Roberts are called to share their vision for how the
legal system can act in concert with all branches and levels of government to
help defend the nation, as part of a way of life unified by respect for rule of
law. Rule of law helps form the bedrock of America’s strength and prosperity,
her identity as a democratic superpower who, with all her capabilities and
frailties, has been called to serve as leader of the free world ...
