This week\u2019s unanimous Supreme Court opinion concerned the FBI\u2019s abuse of its power. \u00a0FBI v. Fikre<\/em>\u00a0was a case filed by Mr. Yonas Fikre, a U.S. Citizen and conservative businessman, after the FBI placed him on its \u201cNo-fly list.\u201d\u00a0 In what became a regular practice during the Obama administration, the FBI waited until Fikre flew out of the USA on a business trip to place him on the list.\u00a0 In doing so it effectively prevented him from returning home.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From their very first meeting at the U.S. Embassy, the FBI admitted that they were not really concerned about Mr. Fikre but wanted him to spy for them on other members of the Portland Oregon mosque he attended. They offered to remove him from the list only if he became an FBI informant.\u00a0 Wow! They denied an innocent citizen his freedom to try to get him to do something he did not want to do.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From 2009 until 2015, Fikre fought the FBI\u2019s unfounded complaint to no avail.\u00a0 Stuck in Sweden, he then filed a lawsuit for declaratory relief and to have the court prohibit the FBI from continuing to undermine his freedom without due process of law.\u00a0 In 2016, facing a loss in court and an incoming Trump Administration, the FBI dropped its unfounded restriction and then moved to dismiss Fikre\u2019s case.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although there was no longer a \u201ccontroversy\u201d the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with Fikre that the FBI needed to be stopped from doing this again to him and to other people it did not like.\u00a0 After all, the FBI denied him the right to return home for seven years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All nine Supremes agreed that the FBI\u2019s ability to continue this immoral practice (which they are doing again in the Harris-Biden Administration) kept alive the controversy.\u00a0 In short, the FBI could not avoid being spanked by backing down after seven years of destroying someone\u2019s life.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What the court did not address and voters should address is why in the hell are our elected \u201crepresentatives\u201d not putting a stop to the FBI\u2019s continued abuse of its power.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is time to elect people who will put an end to this sort of abuse of power.<\/p>\n
