Federal Judge Rules Orwellian Big Brother NSA Surveillance Program Is LegalMelissa Melton Tack this up to yet another post-9/11 usurpation of our Constitution and Bill of Rights in the name of the neverending and never-meant-to-end phony War on Terror. The ACLU lawsuit came in response to NSA contractor-turned-whistleblower Edward Snowdens revelation that the NSA was not simply keeping tabs on foreign citizens abroad, but was actually skimming up giant swaths of metadata info on phone calls, emails, and other online communications through all the major telecom companies used by the American people, including Google, Microsoft and Yahoo and others. The judge acknowledged that the NSA quote, vacuums up information about virtually every telephone call, to, from, or within the United States. In his ruling, the judge asserted his opinion that had such a program been around before 9/11, it would have helped stop the terrorist attacks, even though on record the NSAs program has never presented any evidence that its program has ever stopped a single terrorist. But its all to keep Americans safe, right? Trading a little liberty for a false sense of security? The judge also had this to say about the 4th Amendment: An ACLU spokesperson Jameel Jaffer says the organization will appeal the decision and keep fighting.
