The National Security Agency has broken privacy rules or overstepped its legal authority thousands of times each year since Congress granted the agency broad new powers in 2008, according to an internal audit and other top-secret documents.

They claim it was accidental but you can't just accidentally spy on Americans.
That's just a bs claim.
The fact that the FISA court has limited oversight makes them a puppet for the government as the FISA court has to go off whatever the government tells them.
Meaning that the government could tell them that everything is butterflies and fairies and the FISA court wouldn't know any differently.

The NSA and FISA court should not be in place.
They cannot be trusted with this kind of power.
No one can be trusted with this kind of power.
It will always lead to abuse no matter what "oversight" you put in place.
