Noted in “The Merits of Supporting 702 Reauthorization (Despite Worries About Trump and the Rule of Law),” Jack Goldsmith and Susan Hennessey, Lawfare:
They know that 702 is deeply embedded in a reticulate legal system run mostly by career public servants and supervised by all three branches of government, including numerous agencies in the executive branch, the congressional intelligence committees and the life-tenured members of the FISA court.
