Biden Issued E.O. Creating Secret Court "The Data Protection Review Court"

This is true Gestapo level stuff. Not the stuff they accuse conservatives of.
He appointed eight judges, no Senate oversight & in secret including Eric Holder.
The Court’s location is secret & DOJ won’t comment on cases. Court decisions are secret.

Inside Biden’s secret surveillance court
quote:
At an undetermined date, in an undisclosed location, the Biden administration began operating a secretive new court to protect Europeans’ privacy rights under U.S. law.
Officially known as the Data Protection Review Court, it was authorized in an October 2022 executive order to fix a collision of European and American law that had been blocking the lucrative flow of consumer data between American and European companies for three years.
The court’s eight judges were named last November, including former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. Its existence has allowed companies to resume the lucrative transatlantic data trade with the blessing of EU officials.
The details get blurry after that.
The court’s location is a secret, and the Department of Justice will not say if it has taken a case yet, or when it will. Though the court has a clear mandate — ensuring Europeans their privacy rights under U.S. law — its decisions will also be kept a secret, from both the EU residents petitioning the court and the federal agencies tasked with following the law. Plaintiffs are not allowed to appear in person and are represented by a special advocate, appointed by the U.S. attorney general.
And critics worry it will tie the hands of U.S. intelligence agencies with an unusual power: It can make binding decisions on surveillance practices with federal agencies, which won’t be able to challenge those decisions.
“Until there’s some clarity on how that’s going to operate, I think you could expect the intelligence community to be nervous about what it might mean, especially since it’s not even clear what its caseload is going to look like,” said Matthew Waxman, a State Department and National Security Council veteran and chair of the national security law program at Columbia University.
For the European citizens it is supposed to help, the picture is just as murky. Privacy advocates argue it will be nearly impossible for European residents to bring cases, given they will have to know they are being surveilled to file a complaint.
“I don’t think anybody sitting around in Spain that is unhappy about his visa being denied is going to think that it could be based on data transfers to the U.S. and go through this process,” said Max Schrems, an Austrian privacy advocate whose lawsuits ended a previous transatlantic data deal.
For the business community, however, the court has already done its first job: Its very existence allowed EU regulators to finally bless the resumption of cross-border data flows last summer.
What happens next — or, perhaps, is already happening — is far less clear.

This feels like a test run to gauge Americans' attitudes toward stuff like "secret courts" and other Orwellian bullshite. On it's surface, one could make an argument that this seems like a good idea, but once precedent has been set, this sort of thing can easily be expanded to more nefarious ends.
As Mr. Horse used to say, "No sir, I don't like it."

Anyone surprised by any of this?
I didn't think so.

Protecting democracy with another secret court.
That won't happen. They're all in on the surveillance state, they'll green light everything. It's just a way to get around existing laws and scoop up more data.

Data travels both ways. Sounds like they are just legalizing what they have been doing for decades. Build facilities in another country to snoop on Americans, they collect the data and "give" it to the US govt, ergo the US govt did not spy on its own citizens.
And you guys are right, no good can come from a "secrect" court.

Totally not the antithesis of civil rights and that pesky piece of literature called the U.S. Constitution.

Wouldn't think such as described to be constitutional?

“Constitutional” is a quaint notion from a bygone era for these jokers running the show nowdays.

Setting up to steal the 2024 election with the aid of foreign countries. Laying the cover for their involvement would be my guess.
