My point of view is that the medium/balance is obtained without spending money on a Rube Goldberg court system that doesn't protect any more than would be without.
The FISC is there for appearance only. It's a joke. Lawyer/judge version of TSA. They probably get premium pay too. Pull the plug.
But there is the matter of security clearances. Can't have the 9th Circus meddling in intel matters; might as well include FSB and alQaeda...
