1800 requests a year, 365 days a year that's only 4.9 a day. Round that off to 5 a day and divide that among the 11 justices and ya get less than half a request per day per justice. No one doing that little would be considered "overworked" unless they were a gubmint employee or a UAW worker.

Hi KTC:

Most hail from districts outside the capital and come in rotating shifts to hear surveillance applications; a single judge signs most surveillance orders, which totaled nearly 1,800 last year. None of the requests from the intelligence agencies was denied, according to the court.

IMO there is no way 11 justices can adequately review 1,800 requests in 1 year.
It appears to me, they are rubber stamped.
