FISA is not a rubber stamp, they have refused some request, albeit not many from what I have heard.
The numbers I have heard are (roughly) 20,000 applications approved, 5 denied, three of which were approved on appeal. I'll try to find a link for you. I'm quite sure that if the administration could show FISA that "we just want to listen to terrorists phonecalls" it would not be a problem.

You seem to have concerns that he would use this power for other purposes.
Do you take issue with folks who converse with known terrorists that utilize known phone numbers that may have been culled form laptops and other sources as part of raids the last few months overseas?
