EFF Sues NSA, President Bush, and VP Cheney

VisualE writes "The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) will file a lawsuit against the National Security Agency (NSA) and other government agencies today on behalf of AT&T customers to stop the illegal, unconstitutional, and ongoing dragnet surveillance of their communications and communications records. The five individual plaintiffs are also suing President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Cheney's chief of staff David Addington, former Attorney General and White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales and other individuals who ordered or participated in the warrantless domestic surveillance."

If they are redundantly making a case, they ought to be careful about it - the ACLU and EFF should certainly be cooperative towards each other, IMO.

You'd like to think so but in general people don't work together when they should - and personally I think the ACLU is a big jerkoff waste of time because they don't believe in the second amendment. (It's pretty obvious to me; speech is most important, but the right to bear arms is most important to free speech.)

I wouldn't be surprised to see the ACLU be a detractor in this case, because they tend to be very territorial. They want people to think that they're leading the fight for your rights.

I think people forget that the second amendment is what helps us protect the first one.
