U.S. intelligence agencies have “harvested” the personal and private data of “hundreds of federal officials and judges, including Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg,” charges a legal brief filed by Larry Klayman, the attorney who has come to be known as “the NSA slayer” for his successful legal battles against the National Security Agency.
Klayman, founder of FreedomWatch, successfully sued the National Security Agency in 2013 over the collection of telephone metadata from Verizon customers that was detailed in documents released by intelligence-document leaker Edward Snowden. In December 2013, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled the NSA program likely is unconstitutional and ordered the government to stop collecting data on the two plaintiffs. He stayed his injunction pending appeal, however, “in light of the significant national security interests at stake in this case and the novelty of the constitutional issues.”
Wednesday, Klayman filed a reply in support of motion to lift that stay, arguing that in the 16 months since it was imposed, “the federal government has continued its unconstitutional practices and violated the rights of hundreds of millions of Americans.”
He continued: “The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (‘D.C. Circuit’) has not acted fast enough to protect the rights of all these Americans and unconstitutional actions by the U.S. Government are still continuing without redress. Plaintiffs in this case sought and received a preliminary injunction, which by design is intended to put an immediate stop to any unconstitutional activity. However, this injunction proves ineffective as long as this injunction is stayed pending appeal. The longer the D.C. Circuit delays in issuing its opinion, the longer Plaintiffs’ and all Americans’ constitutional rights are being violated.”

The only thing that would surprise me is if this were not the case.
This was quite clear in Justice Roberts' Obamacare decision and the data miners are at it AGAIN while the SCOTUS ponders same-sex marriage issues.
One would have to be certifiable to not think this admin above all others wasn’t targeting friend and foe alike on day 1. Every dem that rebels suddenly has federal charges and damning info leaked. Nominally conservative types have gone full supporter. Then the Lerner stuff.
But then plenty pf people in Germany got on trains to wonderful new cities with brand new homes smiling all the way.
At least now we understand why. Some of us are the same way.
The boy must want 100% in his favor this round.
Well, we've know that since his lunatic Obamacare decision.
“Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg”
I wonder if they’re having an affair. That’d certainly open them up to blackmail.
Actually, we could have guessed it, since John Roberts is so easily herded to do the will of his masters.
With all the third world detritus in this country, and arriving daily, it is only a matter time before judges, police, and elected officials are routinely found in igloo coolers along the highway, just like in good ol’ meh hee koh.
DUH!
Somebody had to say it :)
I propose a trade; anything the NSA wants in return for Hillary’s emails!

Roberts = blackmailed
I imagine “our spies” have been targeting them for years.
