http://www.politico.com/story/2013/12/national-security-agency-phones-judge-101203.html?hp=f3 A federal judge ruled Monday that the National Security Agency program which collects information on nearly all telephone calls made to, from or within the United States is likely to be unconstitutional. U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon found that the program appears to run afoul of the Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures. He also said the Justice Department had failed to demonstrate that collecting the so-called metadata had helped to head off terrorist attacks.

As a Christian conservative- I'm a lot more offended by people spying on me than I am by people beating off to granny porn or smoking pot. Mr. Federal Judge, tear down this Gestapo. |

"By ruling that two now-outdated Supreme Court cases are no longer controlling, he almost guaranteed that the high court will take this case.
The NSA was emasculated before Judge Leon. Gone were the lies of Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper, who stated under oath that the government does not spy on Americans. Gone was the bravado of NSA boss Gen. Keith Alexander, who claimed initially under oath that his spies stopped 52 terrorist plots and then mysteriously corrected himself and said they really stopped just three, but declined to identify the three. Gone was the if-we-don’t-do-this-we-all-will-die argument. Gone was the if-you-have-nothing-to-hide-you-have-nothing-to-fear nonsense that congressional NSA apologists have advanced." Judge Leon wrote, “I have serious doubts about the efficacy of the metadata collection program as a means of conducting time-sensitive investigations in cases involving imminent threats of terrorism.” Judge Leon wrote: “I have little doubt that the author of our Constitution, James Madison, who cautioned us to beware ‘the abridgment of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power,’ would be aghast.” Read more: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/dec/18/napolitano-nsa-spies-pick-up-interference-from-the/#ixzz2nwUAzkiJ |
