The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, also known as the FISA Court, is made up of 11 judges who primarily operate in secret and all whom are appointed by the chief justice of the Supreme Court. Rep. Steve Cohen, a Democrat from Tennessee, has proposed a bill that would change how those judges are selected and require greater legislative oversight of the FISA Court process.
