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."

      I'll bet Bengazi would have been handled very differently, probably would not of happened at all if Mittens was POTUS. The various terror groups know Obama is full of hot air and does not follow up on attacks. The Syrian army crossed the red line again and nothing from Barry.
