NSA Spying on Americans –Image: Alex Jones@Twitter
(The BLT) The Natl Security Agency’s bulk collection of telephone records likely violates the privacy rights of individual Americans, a federal judge in Washington, DC ruled today in the matter under the caption of Klayman, et al -v- Obama, et al Case No(s) 13-0851 and 13-0881
Describing the government’s intrusive actions “almost Orwellian” USDC Judge Richard Leon found the challengers in lawsuits filed in Washington, likely to succeed on their 4th Amendment privacy claims and may go forward.
In June I wrote here that Obama who claimed to be a former Constitutional Law Professor, attempting to defend the NSA spying on Americans said (in another one of his rambling answers) during an interview on PBS, “Occasionally there are going to be check-points (such as in Nazi Germany, I digress) they may be intrusive…It is transparent, that is why we set up the (secret) FISA Court.”
