Yeah. What the hell is wrong with FISA unless they want to spy on folks they can't get a warrant on? The FISA courts don't have a problem issuing warrants on anyone the administration says is a legitimate target.

The FISA courts don't have a problem issuing warrants on anyone the administration says is a legitimate target. The FISA court has processed tens of thousands of applications over the years. The number they have rejected can be counted on the fingers of Klutzo Butterfingers the Retired Chainsaw Juggler.
The Administration seems to have been driven by an ideological agenda, not any real problem with following the existing procedures.

And how would a warrant read if you wished to spy on someone that you are fairly certain exists but you do not know exactly who they are or where they are. You need some pretty solid information before you can get a warrant.
For some fun examples, read the 9/11 Commission Report.
