Carter Page’s Lawsuit Against the DOJ Dismissed - Here is Why?

I’m sure you’ve heard of “Operation Crossfire Hurricane,” sometimes called “Russia gate.” Carter Page was caught up in this investigation and sued the Department of Justice for lying to the FISA court in order to acquire warrants to surveil him.Show more

A district court recently granted the DOJ’s motion to dismiss the case.

This is what happens when we allow the opinions of judges, euphemistically called “constitutional law” to supersede the Constitution itself. While Congress did not include civil penalties under the FISA law for deceiving the court, they already exist in U.S. Law under 42 U.S.C. ¶1983 since it caused a deprivation of rights for Mr. Page.

Furthermore, the claim of sovereign immunity deprives the American people of a method to petition for a redress of grievance, which violates the First Amendment. Claiming that the courts do not have the power to offer redress to a violation of the Constitution is a dereliction of duty, which certainly is bad behavior in my book.
