A secret court, unexposed to public scrutiny, will be abused. The idea that oversight equals accountability outside of the view of the public is fairly trusting, and misses the fact that you're trying to fix a problem by making it bigger.

If the judicial branch of the government is going to work outside the framework of law that it is built upon, the what's the point? Without checks that can actually be checked by an outside agency, there is no way to limit infractions, corruption, and abuse.

However, a large number of people are in situations they find morally questionable, or are simply just a bit too comfortable to actually do more.
With few open and obvious results to writing campaigns, calling and emailing representatives, and even voting, venting is bound to happen.
The more that is heard about secret courts and secret laws, the less the public feels they are actually in control of their government.

Emphasis mine
I wonder if the justification, "But think of the *insert behavior you're discouraging here* we stopped with this!" was brought over from the MPAA/RIAA side of things first, or if they've simply got someone inside the NSA trying to find the pirates for them.
