Re: Petition to impeach Judge Roger Vinson for authorizing NSA Verizon surveillance
#2A bill of impeachment has to be filed in the House of Representatives. The White House has nothing to do with this.
This petition is a waste of time. If you're upset, try to convince your Congressman.

#4I seriously don't get why people would ever submit their information to wh.gov. It's like you are adding yourself to Obama's enemy list. I'm sure Obama is going to overturn a spy program he signs off just because some rabble rousers signed an online form. The US constitution is dead. He doesn't give a damn.

I'm convinced that the Whitehouse petitions platform is just a pressure release valve - a way to bleed off frustration so it's not manifested in more politically-weighty ways.

#7Is the judge really so at fault at this? Serious question - do they have right to refuse approval under current legislation and can the administration just judge shop until they find a more susceptible judge?

If this petition "passes", it will help as one of many arguments to convince your Congressman

#9I had put up a similar petition here, which targets more widespread change: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/cease-overbroad-su...
The more signatures on both, the better the chance of an official response.

AIUI, no, the FISA court is pretty much a rubber stamp with a security clearance.
