Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Some judges will actually hold the Government's feet to the fire and independently inquire into the sufficiency of the Government's probable cause in a warrant application. Some will not. The issue is, the prosecutors/Justice Department know which ones will and which ones won't and with the new amendments to Rule 41, they can pretty much pick which judge hears their application.
