Court rules NSA program illegal - CNNPolitics.com

Quote:

Washington (CNN)A federal appeals court ruled on Thursday that the telephone metadata collection program, under which the National Security Agency gathers up millions of phone records on an ongoing daily basis, is illegal under the Patriot Act.

The government has argued it has the power to carry forward with the program under a section of the Patriot Act, which expires in June. Lawmakers are locked in a debate on whether or how to renew the authority, which was first passed shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks on New York and Washington, but has been renewed by both Presidents Bush and Obama in the intervening years.

About fucking time, now that it's about to expire anyway

So, will they just make it ''lawful'' somehow?
Then, renew the objectionable act with mickey-moused legislative impunity.

If they could devise an autonomous structure for the extraction of actual communication that is terrorism (only) related, and do it with public transparency -- it might fly...
Unfortunately, with the whole process cloaked by the US PATRIOT Act's constitutionally questionable impunity I cannot see them ever agreeing to this.

There is some suspicion, possibly reason, to believe that the data gleaned is sanitized and used in pursuing security and police investigation of non-terrorist "criminal" activities.

It's not going to change anything at this point. They will just keep doing it as none of the people running our govt seem to want to stop them. Not the president and not congress.

So far anytime the law has gotten in their way, they've used the "secret court" to change the law for them..

I actually just saw a bit more on this. They didn't rule it unconstitutional, but rather ruled that "Congress" never approved the extent of the spying on American citizens that has been going on.

What this means is the ball has now been tossed into Congress's court, meaning they have to vote if the continued spying is "ok".

What this means is our FREEDOM loving Congress has to make the decision if it stays or goes or gets modified. So here is your chance to show us you love us Republican controlled Senate & Congress...
