Whether petitioner had a right to confront respondent under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
QUESTIONS PRESENTED . ; ; The petitioner confronted respondent by way of the United States Freedom Of Information Act and its subsequent civil action, © for information relating to a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act investigation in response to petitioners interaction and support of ; ' organizations the United States believes to be terror organizations. This only after petitioner was proclaimed a member of a terrorist organization during a police interrogation for a State criminal ; proceeding. The district court would grant summary judgment as well, : the court of appeals granted summary affirmance, all in favor of respondent. : . However, the question that has been ignored by both lower ; courts remains: Since petitioner was proclaiméd a member of a . ; ' terrorist organization and that information’ was to be used against petitioner at a criminal trial, according to federal law 50 U.S.C. t § 1806(d) petitioner had every right to confront respondent in the only avenue afforded petitioner. Not to mention, should have been enough material fact to survive the ruling by both lower courts.
