Is this NSA loss temporary?
U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon said that the National Security Agency’s widespread collection of telephone records of millions of Americans is likely unconstitutional. He granted the request for a preliminary injunction blocking the collection sought by Freedom Watch, but stayed action on his ruling pending a government appeal. This is the first time a federal judge in open court has issued an opinion on the program’s likely unconstitutionality.
Leon wrote, “No court has ever recognized a special need sufficient to justify continuous, daily searches of virtually every American citizen without any particularized suspicion.”
