EFF Wins Release of Secret Court Opinion: NSA Surveillance Unconstitutional

Posted by samzenpus on from the stop-it dept.

mspohr writes "For over a year, EFF has been fighting the government in federal court to force the public release of an 86-page opinion of the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC). Issued in October 2011, the secret court's opinion found that surveillance conducted by the NSA under the FISA Amendments Act was unconstitutional and violated 'the spirit of' federal law."

    Translation: I can't refute the truth, time for a misdirection, But Bush!!!

    Give it a rest already. Obama has been PRESIDENT for 5 years now, with party control of the Senate for all of that to boot. It could all end in a SINGLE day with a SINGLE executive order, it is ALL done via the executive branch.

    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,and the Word WAS God... and We knew Him, and he was filled with grace and glory...

    Yes, I worship the Logos of God. I worship the Bible, and the Eucharist, and the Creator of all that is.

    I worship the Spirit of love between the Creator and the Creator's logos.

    And worship is the right word: I do everything I can (He might say more or less) to order my life according to the Logos of God, including attempting to obey Him.
