Transcript:
Judge: Sir, I understand you're seeking a warrant to tap the phones of a Mr. Pig and Mr. Goat. Now, as a federal judge, I need strict legal assurances that this is for national security reasons only. Rat: It is. Judge: Pinky swear? Rat: You're getting very strict about these things. Rat works for the NSA

When I took CON Law a couple of years after the Bill of Rights was passed, I don’t think there was anything in the Fourth Amendment about pinky swear, but I may have just missed that.

The actual FISA Court is about this lenient. Almost every warrant is ultimately approved.I’m not sure if this includes requests submitted by rodents, however.

Sadly a pinky swear would be an increase in what is needed.

FISA, the secret court, because perish forfend that the people should know what their government is doing to them.

Woah!!! This judge is the heavy-duty serious type!
Phatts almost 11 years ago
I’m actually kinda surprised Rat was able to find a judge who was both Awake and Sober at the Same Time, so if he has to Pinky Swear, then so be it.

Usually Rat uses a different finger when dealing with an authority figure.
