The FISA court isn't judicial oversight in my opinion. You need no evidence or suspicion to be given the right to search. You don't need to inform them for up to 30 days in some cases after you've started looking through personal records. And the FISA courts are not required to tell anyone who they allowed surveillance on, even well after the fact.
The FISA courts are not judicial oversight for American citizens. They are there for foreign surveillance. Look no further than the fact the FISA court has denied 2 requests ever. I don't consider that form of checks and balances the "judicial oversight" the constitution asks for.
