Nine Companies Tied to PRISM, Obama Will Be Smacked With Class-Action Lawsuit Wednesday
US News ^ | 61113 | Steven Nelson

Posted on 06/11/2013 5:08:43 PM PDT by Fred

Former Justice Department prosecutor Larry Klayman amended an existing lawsuit against Verizon and a slew of Obama administration officials Monday to make it the first class-action lawsuit in response to the publication of a secret court order instructing Verizon to hand over the phone records of millions of American customers on an "ongoing, daily basis."

Klayman told U.S. News he will file a second class-action lawsuit Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia targeting government officials and each of the nine companies listed in a leaked National Security Agency slideshow as participants in the government's PRISM program.

According to the slideshow, the PRISM program allows government agents direct, real-time access to the servers of nine major tech companies, including AOL, Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, PalTalk, Skype, Yahoo! and YouTube.

Boycott: boy·cott (boi k t) transitive verb boy·cott·ed, boy·cott·ing, boy·cotts. To abstain from or act together in abstaining from using, buying, or dealing with companies that support tyranny, such as AOL, Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, PalTalk, Skype, Yahoo! and YouTube. Other than MSFT, those were already on my boycott list, along with Government Motors, Bank of America and the rest of the crony-capitalist network. MSFT is hard to avoid, but I minimize my dealings with them.

Will Obama have to pay his lawyers’ fees or will the public have to eat the bill?

Larry Klayman will learn that the inmates can't sue the warden.

If the warden hires Orly Taitz, Klayman will immediately fold.

This is a world-wide scandal. The Europeans are none too happy, either.

Actually has won a few cases, especially FOIA ones.

Not sure why the animosity over Klayman with this suit. It’s either him or Obama you side with on this one....

I have nothing against the suit, and I certainly hope Klayman wins, but his record is not good.

The only animosity I have is for his habit of not winning.

I find it remarkable that anyone would sue the wealthiest companies in the world ( Apple, Google, Microsoft, Verizon) as a group.

They are seeking an injunction on the sharing of data between them and govt.

I'm on the side of truth, and Larry Klayman has a pretty bad record when it comes to finding that out. He usually ends up obfuscating the truth so badly we never find out.
