Depends on whether the court ever actually says 'no.' If, like the FISA court, they're just a rubber stamp that makes things look kosher then no, there's not much difference, other than giving them a few more hoops to jump through. I will not believe it is anything else until I hear Keith Alexander whining that the courts don't let him have any fun.
