"Simply Shocking"

Andrew C. McCarthy, in National Review, on leaks by anonymous FISA court judges, as related by the WaPo in this article: “Surveillance Court Is Seeking Answers — Judges Were Unaware of Eavesdropping.” Excerpt:

Even more mind-blowing, though, is to find them (ed: FISA Court judges) discussing what they see as the merits of the issue. Without having heard any facts or taken any submissions on the governing law — and in the cowardice of anonymity — here they are speculating for the media about what positions they might take depending on how the administration answers their questions. Here they are preliminarily weighing in on the validity of defense claims in cases where FISA evidence was introduced. This is an inexplicable judicial misconduct.

McCarthy is outraged; you should be, too.
