The US Congress and all the US courts (accept a tiny secret court)cannot control a secret spying agency of their leader of their country. No one is allowed to even know what they're doing or what happens to the people they spy on. An independent group feared by all its citizens even the military. Do the letters " SS " ring a bell?

The Gestapo had the authority to investigate cases of treason, espionage, sabotage and criminal attacks on the Nazi Party and Germany. The basic Gestapo law passed by the government in 1936 gave the Gestapo carte blanche to operate without judicial review—in effect, putting it above the law. The Gestapo was specifically exempted from responsibility to administrative courts, where citizens normally could sue the state to conform to laws. As early as 1935, however, a Prussian administrative court had ruled that the Gestapo's actions were not subject to judicial review. The SS officer Werner Best, onetime head of legal affairs in the Gestapo,[12] summed up this policy by saying, "As long as the police carries out the will of the leadership, it is acting legally."[5]
