I recall reading about FDR's plan to pack the Supreme Court but Clinton was able to pack the FISA Court with ACLU types without anyone noticing.

The members of the court are not appointed by the President, they arew appointed by the Chief Justice.

No, Clinton didn't.
The Chief Justice picks all the FISA judges. That would have been Rehnquist. So any ACLU or Leftist Judge, like the one that just 'resigned', is-was his doing.
