Judge Nixes Warrantless Surveillance

A federal judge has ruled the Bush Administration's warrantless wiretapping program unconstitutional.

Reports AP:

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 listening to conversations between people in the U.S. and people in other countries.

The US District Judge ruling in the case, Anna Diggs Taylor, was appointed to the federal bench by President Jimmy Carter in 1979.

Here's Judge Taylor's bio.

Journalists, scholars and lawyers? The unholy triumvirate of dumbasses. They are worried about their terrorist contacts? How sweet. How do they plan to go on winning this "war" again?

It just came to me, your ideological likeness---Andy Hardy with a popgun.

I imagine that you also have no military background and are probably a tax cheat. You fit the mold.

I'm not sure who you're addressing here, but I'm not sure what you're getting at...
