How much power will the FISA court have?

Our leaders are touting the wonders of the FISA Amendments Act as passed by the House of Representatives. They feel it is a good compromise. However, it does not appear as though the amendments wil strengthen the FISA court, to wit:

• the court will not know who is being tapped and why
• you can be tapped for seven days before the court is informed and then, even if the tapping is not authorized by the court, it can be continued during an appeal process. Any 'information' gleaned during this period can be used against you.
• only members of the judiciary and intelligence committees of the House and Senate will have access to any reports.

The only part Obama does not like is that phone companies are off the hook for any surveillance done previously. Apparently, he accepts any violations of our constitution since we face 'grave threats'.
