The problem isn't whether passing FISA is difficult or not. The problem is what does pass FISA.
That something is not illegal does not mean it shouldn't be illegal. The FISA process legitimises a kind of mass surveillance that shouldn't be legal to begin with.
This is why people call it a rubber stamp process. Even if they're only approving valid requests, the put problem is what is being considered valid.
