Secret courts that exist outside of the Constitution being abused by the party in power? [BLEEP], where have we seen that before?

If nothing else comes of this, and I'm not convinced that much will given the immediate efforts (and, apparently, success) of the MSM to marginalize and discredit this memo entirely--shame on Nunes for not releasing the FISA documents to support it--I hope we get a broader, public, open review and dismantling of the FISA court system. This is America, dammit. We're supposed to be better than secret police and shadow courts. The intelligence state needs to be torn down, and if it takes two more years of Trump to make that happen, then so be it. Never before have we seen such clear evidence that the shadowy intelligence state is being abused by those in power for political gain, and if that doesn't scare a person, they don't deserve to call themselves an American.

It's incredibly frightening. It needs to be removed... and no wonder neither party wanted Trump in power. Everyone else would have allowed the status quo to continue.
