NSA eavesdropping program ruled unconstitutional Judge orders immediate halt to program DETROIT, Michigan (AP) -- A federal judge ruled Thursday that the government's warrantless wiretapping program is unconstitutional and ordered an immediate halt to it. U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor in Detroit became the first judge to strike down the National Security Agency's program, which she says violates the rights to free speech and privacy. The American Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit on behalf of journalists, scholars and lawyers who say the program has made it difficult for them to do their jobs. They believe many of their overseas contacts are likely targets of the program, which involves secretly taping conversations between people in the U.S. and people in other countries. The government argued that the program is well within the president's authority, but said proving that would require revealing state secrets. The ACLU said the state-secrets argument was irrelevant because the Bush administration already had publicly revealed enough information about the program for Taylor to rule.

| That basically means that all they have to do is get a warrant, because someone "might be a terrorist" and they can wire tap our phones again. I hat the legal system. But at least this halts them for a few weeks. | |||

| Its been called unconstituional and hardly any citizens want their phones bugged. The possiblity of NSA to get a warrant to do what they've been doing all over again is very unlikely as long as the people stand up. | |||

| This really doesn't change much, the NSA will continue to do whatever they did and justify it with wartime-situations. | |||

| I still like that she talks to the agent listening in.
So retarded though... I'm surprised they don't do that to one guy I know. He's only Mexican though, so I guess they don't bother. |
