“A federal judge has dismissed a long-running lawsuit over President George W. Bush’s warrantless wiretapping program, ruling that allowing the case to go forward would create an unacceptable and exceptionally grave danger to the country.” politico.com/story/2019/04/…
“The suit, filed in 2008, alleged that the snooping — eventually named the Terrorist Surveillance Program by the Bush administration — violated the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution as well as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.”
“The American people deserve to know whether mass surveillance is legal and constitutional. Instead of proceeding to the legal merits of the govt.’s programs, the Court deferred to the government’s state secrecy arguments. We look forward to seeking review in the 9th Circuit.”
