Washington – The Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court should not hold the sole authority to appoint judges to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, an Obama administration review group said Wednesday in a lengthy report that offers reforms to better protect privacy and civil liberties.
The White House release of the 303-page report comes just days after a federal judge in Washington. D.C., declared that the “almost-Orwellian” National Security Agency bulk collection of billions of phone records is likely unconstitutional.
