The FISA Court. Classified rulings behind closed doors.

So you're asking me to issue a FISA warrant directly to...

The American Civil Liberties Union, a lobby group, has filed a suit ordering the FISA court to reveal its most pertinent legal rulings.

游说团体美国公民自由联盟发起了诉讼，要求FISA法庭公开其相关法律裁决。

The FISA court does not seem the right forum for this. It hears in secret from government lawyers, but not from those who are being spied on.

FISA法庭似乎并不是正确的组织来处理这类问题，它秘密的听众政府律师的指挥，而不是受控于美国公民。

根据国会的报告，在2001至2012年间，FISA法庭批准了20，909起监视或搜查的申请，只拒绝了10起。
