I question your assertion it is not an Article III [1] court. In fact, I think you are either wildly misinformed or being intentionally misleading.
The FISA court of 11 judges is appointed by the Chief Justice of the United States. [2] It absolutely is an Article III court. The ACLU has even acquired its rules [3].
The fact this is the top comment without citation is troubling. Please don't encourage these sort of claims without at least a cursory glance at the documents governing these institutions.
