I find it ironic that that the "quash" option on the site doesn't tell you the address that will be used for mailing your request to the FISA court.

It would be nice if the site published instructions on submitting these requests yourself.

On a related note, I'd love to know: 1. How does one typically file a motion with the FISA court, given that they don't have a website or any public contact information that I can find? 2. What's the probability of these "quash" requests even being considered, given that nobody other than the USG is technically party to the case?




1) FISA court rules, including how to file a motion: http://www.uscourts.gov/uscourts/rules/FISC2010.pdf

2) Probably slim, but again, it's a matter of petitioning your government for redress -- a protest. You certainly have "standing," so I don't imagine the reason will be that you're "not a party," but they'll likely find some reason to deny them.
