FISA court is an insane post-9/11 secret tribunal, a bad idea for these past 25 years.
But at least they were subject to Congressional oversight.
> the Trump administration is illegally withholding a secret court’s findings from Congress
Oops.

Thanks. So it should read
"FISA court, post-9/11, is an insane secret tribunal..."
Wow! It's amazing how the time travelers went back in time after 9/11 just for FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act). It was enacted, and FISA courts created in 1978[0].
All sorts of stupid stuff was done after (and in the name of "anti-terrorism") 9/11. FISA was not one of them.
