This will be interesting. The judge in the ACLU lawsuit against the Bush administration’s domestic eavesdropping program has deferred his decision as to whether or not this was a violation of law.
The American Civil Liberties Union, which filed the lawsuit in January, asked U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor to stop the White House from intercepting international phone calls and e-mails without a warrant in its fight against terrorism, saying it violates Americans’ free speech and privacy rights.But the government responded that the program is key to helping protect U.S. security.
Taylor deferred any ruling. Another hearing is scheduled for July 10.
Mark it in your calendar.
