Sorry sister, I cannot find anything to read about FISA court grand jury. Almost like there isn’t one. My sources say a single judge reads the application. My sources also say that the judge that signed the Page authorizations is working with the IG on criminal referrals for those applications. This info is not public yet so let’s keep it between us, shall we?
The FISA court's judges are appointed solely by the
Chief Justice of the United States without confirmation or oversight by the U.S. Congress. This gives the chief justice the ability to appoint like-minded judges and create a court without diversity. related bias of the court results from what critics such as
Julian Sanchez, a scholar at the
Cato Institute, have described as the near certainty of the polarization or
groupthink of the judges of the court. Since all of the judges are appointed by the same person (the
Chief Justice of the United States), as of 2013 nearly all currently serving judges are of the same political party (the
Republican Party), hear no opposing testimony and feel no pressure from colleagues or the public to moderate their rulings, group polarization is almost a certainty. "There's the real possibility that these judges become more extreme over time, even when they had only a mild bias to begin with", Sanchez said.
