23. Does the FISA court or another court have a "cushy" opening for Smith? This has happened before!
Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly was sppointed the head of the FISA Court not long after she ruled to overturn the ruling against Microsoft back in 2002, the week before the 2002 election (INTERESTING timing).

According to this, she was "randomly selected" from a field of 10 candidates.

Well recently Reggie Walton was appointed to the FISA Court as well. Those familiar with Walton will also note that he was supposedly "randomly selected" TWICE to preside over the TWO civil court cases that Sibel Edmonds took against the government which were both shut down due to his supporting of State Secrets privilege and not allowing the court cases to proceed in both cases.

We should watch to see this guy William Smith to see if he also gets a "cushy" court appointment in the coming month or so.
