Adam Schiff & The House Intelligence Committee Rocked By Lawsuit For Issuing Congressional Subpoenas For Private Phone Records, Judicial Watch Serves As Plaintiff

OPINION| Lawrence David| The Obama surveillance state lives on.

Democrats love to cloak themselves as the defenders of human rights.  Despite the cover provided the totalitarian left by the Marxist media, civil libertarians are aware of the threat that they pose.

Democrats and the radical left – at this point there is no discernible difference – don’t flinch when trampling the rights of individuals in their never-ending quest to achieve the “greater good.”

Perhaps with an education system that teaches the relevance of constitutionally-based civics in everyday life, and a mainstream media that wasn’t four-square pushing a Marxist agenda, we would never have arrived at this point.  But we have.

Staunch Obama defender and surveillance state proponent Adam Schiff sought and received the private phone records of citizens, journalists, and fellow politicians.  This is antithetical to our Fourth Amendment and should not be tolerated by anyone.

As we have come to expect, yesterday Judicial Watch came to the rescue of the Fourth Amendment.

(Washington, DC)Judicial Watch announced it today filed a lawsuit against Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and the House Intelligence Committee for the controversial subpoenas issued for phone records, including those of Rudy Giuliani, President Trump’s lawyer. The phone records led to the publication of the private phone records of Giuliani, Congressman Devon Nunes, journalist John Solomon, Trump attorney Jay Sekulow, attorney Victoria Toensing, and other American citizens.

In Judicial Watch v Adam Schiff and U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (No. 1:19-cv-03790) the watchdog agency sued under the public’s common-law right of public access to examine government records.

 JW is suing for the following records:

-All subpoenas issued by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on or about September 30, 2019 to any telecommunications provider including, but not limited to AT&T, Inc., for records of telephone calls of any individuals;

-All responses received to the above-referenced subpoenas.

It shouldn’t take a degree in civics to understand the threat Chairman Schiff’s overreach poses to the civil liberties of every American.  

Unfortunately, too many Americans have no understanding of the importance that their constitutional protections provide them and their loved ones.

The Ranking Member of the House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunes, who was one of those targeted by Schiff’s lawless subpoenas, appeared with Tucker Carlson to discuss the problems with allowing this to go unpunished: 

Nowhere is authority given to congress to arbitrarily subpoena the private phone records of citizens, journalists, and fellow politicians.  N.O.W.H.E.R.E.

Nor, should it be.  What chance would any private citizen have to conduct their affairs if a higher power, with the power to craft a narrative disparaging to that citizen, does not fear punishment for doing so.
