U.S. confirms warrantless searches of Americans

Its like saying that the DPRK or the PRC has a democratic legislative body but infact they are essentially just rubber stamps, so they basically dont exist.

That is not based on clear requirements and facts. That's arbitrary. The FISA warrant system is not arbitrary.

That's the opposite of the truth. The protocols are clear, strict and leave little to no room for interpretation - that's why so few are rejected. That's how the system for special warrants should be.

Would you prefer whimsical protocols that result in many rejections due to unclear standards and weak requests? Wanting that doesn't make any sense.

I'm not saying you did. I'm just illustrating the alternative. If we had 50% of requests denied, there would be cries of overzealousness and lax standards.

Fortunately, a system is in place that leaves little doubt about when such a warrant can and will be issued. That's not a bad thing.
