Of all of the issues in the US, I genuinely believe FISA and FISC are the largest issues today. There can be no secret courts in a real democracy (or republic or whatever else you want to call it). The government can't be by, for, and of the people if they have a recourse to lock away people that can't have the sun shine on it.

It astounds me that this is just accepted as a practice in the US. Or am I being naive?

You're not being naive. It happened in a flash, without a referendum, and nobody asked for it. It's not that we accepted it; it's that there's nothing we can do about it.
