One idea he alluded to was the possibility of independent ombudsman-like figures to monitor abuses, perhaps without always revealing sensitive details about their concerns to the public at large. " I like that idea on paper. Maybe it's the pessimis in me, but i believe it would not turn out so perfect, with corruption in this "indepedent" body of monitoring, and nor do i believe the government would accept such a system. “Balkin suggested that effective regulation of the surveillance state was unlikely to come from legislatures or courts.

I like that idea on paper. Maybe it’s the pessimis in me, but i believe it would not turn out so perfect, with corruption in this “indepedent” body of monitoring, and nor do i believe the government would accept such a system.

I don't know when the Minnesota piece will come out -- not that soon, I am afraid.  It will be the legal scholarship time frame, not the blog time frame...
