he ACLU and other groups asked the Supreme Court on Monday to consider
whether a special court that reviews government requests for electronic
surveillance for foreign intelligence purposes must disclose significant
opinions that came after 9/11.
The filing marks the first time the Supreme Court has been asked to
resolve whether the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court must make
its secret opinions public -- subject to redactions.
The groups, which also include the Knight Institute and the Media
Freedom and Information Access Clinic at Yale Law School, are
represented by former George W. Bush Solicitor General Theodore R. Olson.
They argue that the FISC sometimes authorizes "broad surveillance
regimes" with far-reaching implications for US citizens and "residents
who are not the ostensible targets of the government's surveillance."
Olson wants the Supreme Court to recognize a First Amendment right to
access significant opinions.
Olson seeks the documents from between 2001 and 2015 when the government
began asking for approval of broad forms of surveillance and when new
technologies gave the government more opportunity to conduct sweeping
surveillance.
