Two New Judges Appointed to FISA Court

Two new judges have been selected to join the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, according to court spokesman Sheldon Snook.

Senior Judge Thomas Hogan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and Judge Susan Webber Wright of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas will each begin seven-year terms on the 11-member court. They will replace U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the District of Columbia and U.S. District Judge Robert Broomfield of Arizona.

Judges on the secretive court, established under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, are appointed by the chief justice of the United States. In March, U.S. District Judge John Bates of the District of Columbia was promoted to chief of the FISA court, taking over for Kollar-Kotelly.

makes you warm and fuzzy huh?

Appointed by GHW Bush, she also censured Clinton and took his law license. She also helped that zombie Ken Starr in his witch hunt. Although she did dismiss the Paula Jones suit, she ruled that Clinton did not have immunity from such a suit -- which is the opposite of the way she would have ruled had Paul Jones been going after Dim Son.

In other words, she's another right-wing Republican who has climbed to prominence by using the law for political ends, and is being rewarded for services rendered.
