You would think they'd have lifetime appointments as other federal courts do, but it's important to note FISC (and its review process) isn't the final stop on some Orwellian and diabolical train.

It is very easy to get caught up in examining the mechanism itself as a way of stamping out the abuse of the mechanism. As much as I dislike what the court represents, I can't fully qualify its dissolution.

In 50 USC § 1803 (b) it specifically states the Supreme Court has jurisdiction over the decisions. The Title itself is designed for expediency and proximity - something its "parent" court isn't designed for.
