The Bush administration can continue its warrantless surveillance program while it appeals a judge's ruling that the program is unconstitutional, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday.

[Signalman]

Excellent a (temporary) Win for the good guys.

[muawiyah]

In the meantime "W" should have that ol'gal picked up and stashed in a federal prison cell for the duration of the war.

We simply cannot have any federal employee working for the other side.

They must be referring to the international phone call surveillance.

Whew!

Pelosi and gang are deeply saddened = for the terrorists

[Gideon7]

It is not "domestic spying". It is the monitoring of international calls coming from overseas (like from Pakistan). The intercept point is outside the US (a cable tap in the Atlantic or a satellite tap).

The NSA is prohibited against listening to communications within the US by statute.

[Mr. Lucky]

Exactly. The program involves international, not domestic, intercepts.

[Political Junkie Too]

Yes, I keep forgetting to add the sarcasm tags.

Why? Is anyone planning to do any domestic spying?

Stupid DBM.

Shalom.

[Defiant]

I haven't read it, but I would not be surprised if the opinion says something about the administration having a likelihood of success on appeal, and therefore the stay of enforcement of the trial court's idiotic opinion is warranted.

[fschmieg]

Stupid headline! It is NOT domestic spying.

[AmeriBrit]

What President Bush refers to is NOT domestic spying but the evidence that's come to light THIS IS and it wouldn't shock me any to find out it's still going on and responsible for many of the leaks that have plagued the Bush administration.

A most excellent result. The article says "tempoary," but the actual order provides that the stay will be in place until this court reverses the lower court opinion (which will eventually happen).

[kesg]

It does, in so many words.

[FreedomNeocon]

"Domestic Spying" huh al-AP?

I guess if I took a flight from New York to Baghdad, Iraq to visit my uncle Mookie, it would be on a "Domestic Flight"....

[R.W.Ratikal]

The first domestic spying we should do is on the Democrat/SSocialists in Congress.

[OldFriend]

I heard this repeatedly on the news today.

not

[lormand]

Take that you Carter appointed jihadist!

Anna Diggs Taylor

In 1979, Anna Diggs Taylor became the first black woman judge to be appointed to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Nineteen years later, she became the first black woman Chief Judge for that circuit as well.¹

Taylor had great difficulty obtaining her first job as an attorney for the Office of Solicitor for the U.S. Department of Labor, despite graduating form the prestigious Yale Law School in 1957. Very few opportunities existed for a black woman in law at this time. In 1961, Taylor relocated from the Washington D.C. area to Detroit, Michigan. Here she was involved in both public and private practice until her appointment to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, on which she continues to serve. Taylor’s position has enabled her to open doors for other women and minorities to pursue and achieve their dreams. She strives for gender and racial equality in the law and currently serves on the Joint Steering Committee of the Gender and Racial Ethnic Fairness Task Forces for the Sixth Circuit.

Her success did not come easy. Taylor faced discrimination on account of her race and her sex throughout her legal career. Yet, she persevered in her uphill struggle against prejudice. Anna Diggs Taylor set a standard of excellence for the abilities and performance of women in law.
