FISA warrants were even more incredible, with well below 1% rejection rates.

And then hilariously people would say that this is just evidence that the warrants are all written extremely carefully and conservatively.

That's potentially much less incredible, and in any case not directly comparable, because its the final, not on-first-submission, rate, and also doesn't count applications withdrawn after a preliminary rejection that allows modificaitons but before a final ruling. It only counts the share of those that get a final ruling where that is an approval.
