No, there was never an adversarial challenge to them. The Advocate as proposed would be just that.
Yes let’s just go back to the intelligence community deciding on their own who to target with no oversight. This is clearly a much better idea.
Reading the thread would be very informative.

It seems Trump isn’t going to rubber stamp FISA renew without serious reforms.
President Trump has told congressional Republican leaders that he will not support a clean reauthorization of surveillance laws without significant reforms to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court system that was abused during the Russia collusion probe, a senior White House official says.
My question to forum libs…is Orange man bad here?

Nope.
He is doing a good thing here.
Let’s see what the reforms are.

OK very good…we got one lib is the another? Can we have two libs supporting Trump on this?
Gee, I can’t imagine why can you? 
I’m not ready to throw it out altogether but there’s no way in hell I could vote for it without an advocate’s office being created to review and challenge every request, severe limitations on when a citizen’s name can be unmasked and severe restrictions on who may do so.
There must also be clear, unequivocal violations of law requiring immediate firing and prosecution for any violation of those restrictions.

Seems like Rand Paul scuttle the FISA. I hope he’s successful.
