Two prominent civil rights groups have filed a lawsuit against the National Security Agency over its program that reportedly collects the telephone records of millions of American customers of Verizon.

The American Civil Liberties Union and the New York Civil Liberties Union say in a lawsuit filed in federal court Tuesday that the program violates First Amendment rights of free speech and association. It also alleges the program violates Fourth Amendment rights to privacy.

The lawsuit additionally alleges the government's program exceeds Congress' authority.

I would consider forgiving NSA for domestic spying if they were to release information that will get 0bummer booted out of office and thrown in jail.
I'm sure they have it.

[Cheerio]

But there is a huge difference - RATS like this spying because their lord and savior obozo is heading this program up.

Never forget that the ACLU was founded by communists.

I don't think anybody will forget that, or forgive them for it. But it's like a comet that flies by the Earth once a generation or so. When it's right, it's very noticeable.

ACLU cherishes nothing. Read carefully ~ they did not say that anyone broke the law but rather that Congress exceeded its authority. Take that as a guide to your thoughts here ~ they are resolutely unconcerned with law breaking ~ they are, as Spiro Agnew so aptly described them, the criminals lobby!

“Never forget that the ACLU was founded by communists.”

And that wizened up little Capo on the SCOTUS is one of them!

They better cut their losses. Because a lot more is going to be raining down on them.

They want what they believe is a utopian society, but not the totalitarian government that goes along with it. Fools.

[rawcatslyentist]

My tinfoil says, the aclu will throw this fight, and thereby attempt to set up a double jeopardy claim/ fire insurance policy for their glorious leader.

[Blood of Tyrants]

“that’s not what we support”

And they turn around and vote for the far left radicals in the Rat party.

the reporter says much more is coming.

I don't see that in the article. Where does your info come from?

I don't like this "more is coming" crap. Just type it up already.

Looks like the only folks NOT filing suit are within the beltway. Guess they’re afraid they might be named as defendants!

Oddly enough I agree with the ACLU in this one

i’m trying to figure out why I am siding with, the aclu, algore, Michael moore, bob beckel.

man this is strange.

[Cementjungle]

Why is everyone so focused on Verizon? The leaker just happened to publicize the Verizon specific warrant... which in no way means they aren’t doing this for all the carriers.
