Thanks for digging up the info on the FISA judges.
This thread is proving to be a treasure trove of info, thanks to people like you who go dig up the real important stuff. :)
Note that Kazen was the only judge appointed to FISA during 2003. I'm now willing to bet that over 70% of the modifications occurred when Kazen and Robertson were both on the panel.
