Don’t know which judge it was but here is a list of all the judges currently on the court. Don’t know who appointed them to the various circuits. http://www.fas.org/irp/agency/doj/fisa/court2007.html Sorry about the formating.

THE FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE SURVEILLANCE COURT
2007 Membership
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court was created by section 103(a) of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (50 U.S.C. 1803(a)). It was originally comprised of seven district judges from seven circuits named by the Chief Justice of the United States to serve a maximum of 7 years.

In 2001, the U.S.A. Patriot Act (section 208) amended the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to increase the number of FIS Court judges from seven to eleven, “of whom no fewer than 3 shall reside within 20 miles of the District of Columbia.” The membership of the Court in 2007 was as follows.
