I could not help but notice the name of the current presiding Judge John D. Bates not included in the list. This link to the FISC Court rules names Judge Bates on the Cover: http://www.uscourts.gov/uscourts/rules/FISC2010.pdf http://www.uscourts.gov/uscourts/rules/FISC2010.pdf
Judge Bates was originally nominated to the bench by GW Bush and obviously appointed to FISC by Chief Justice Roberts. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_D._Bates http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_D._Bates)
- acomar 13y agoAccording to the Wikipedia page, his term expired in February of this year.

However, that occurred June 11, 2013 and presumably he will continue to be the presiding Judge of FISC until that time.
