Interesting article, but the author seems to fall into the trap of the "national-security conservatives" implying that most of the FISC judges being Republican is somehow worse. When Edward Snowden and I voted for Obama in 2008 we would have agreed. Now it's become obvious that's really a distraction and that both parties are in on it. This is not a political issue. It's a human rights issue and should be treated as such.

Edward Snowden did not vote for Obama.
Edward Snowden: "A lot of people in 2008 voted for Obama. I did not vote for him. I voted for a third party. But I believed in Obama's promises. I was going to disclose it [but waited because of his election]. He continued with the policies of his predecessor."
