Who ARE the FISA Court Judges?

[snot]

Literally. Do we know who they are?

Does Roberts just pick them; what are the criteria; who suggests them; are his choices subject to any review at all?

Just askin'.

Appointed by Republicans and members of the republican party. All. Prove me wrong.

This whole spying set up is republican wet dream. Don't ever forget that fact.
