Ahhh…
Roberts APPOINTED the FISC judges….
BTW..the wiki on the process worth a read thru…
"The court's judges[27] are appointed solely by the Chief Justice of the United States without confirmation or oversight by the U.S. Congress.[28] This gives the chief justice the ability to appoint like-minded judges and create a court without diversity.[29][30] "The judges are hand-picked by someone who, through his votes on the Supreme Court, we have come to learn has a particular view on civil liberties and law enforcement", Theodore Ruger, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, said with respect to Chief Justice John Roberts. "The way the FISA is set up, it gives him unchecked authority to put judges on the court who feel the same way he does."[28] And Stephen Vladeck, a law professor at the University of Texas School of Law, added, "Since FISA was enacted in 1978, we've had three chief justices, and they have all been conservative Republicans, so I think one can worry that there is insufficient diversity."[31] Since May 2014, however, four of the five judges appointed by Chief Justice Roberts to the FISA Court were appointed to their prior federal court positions by Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama."
