The fisa court and how they could improve that but courts generally. I think the down side of courts generally is they are not often well equipped to handle classified cases. Aside from standing issues, the process of handling classified materials, stamped with clearances is a challenge with the courts and they have shown timidity when taking on the government and they defer to the government or rather than challenge the government or look for the least intrusive for the rights with Civil Liberties.
