The ruling will be reversed by the first sane judge that reads it, Anna Diggs can go back to picking lint out of her navel.

Judge Rules Wiretaps of Terrorists Unconstitutional

At the urging of the American Civil Liberties Union, Detroit Judge Anna Diggs Taylor has ordered the Bush Administration to shut down the National Security Agency's wiretapping program. “Listening in on someone else’s phone calls is impolite,” said Taylor. “It is an intolerable invasion of privacy.”

The judge brushed aside what she snidely referred to as "King George’s" argument that the taps were necessary to keep tabs on the adversaries of the United States. “There is no proof that all of the people being spied on are our adversaries,” Taylor observed. “Even if they are, it would be unfair to spy on them. This would be the equivalent of eavesdropping on the other team’s huddle. It’s not fair. Our Constitution requires fairness. It’s in one of the Amendments somewhere, I think. Therefore, these wiretaps are Unconstitutional.”

FDR was scum. He grovelled before Uncle Joe Stalin at Tehran and Yalta (against Churchill's advice), imposed the modern welfare state upon America and needlessly embroiled the United States in the European Theater of WWII (and, arguably, the Pacific Theater as well).

That modern Republicans would openly admit to admiring this worthless man is a testament to how far from conservatism the party has strayed.

President Bush should simply pull an 'Andrew Jackson' and completely ignore her ruling.

FDR literally gave eastern europe to Stalin like he personally owned it.. His wife was a commie, and Alger Hiss(and Chambers) was a trusted employee of his... FDR was pretty much like our John Conyers.. and his wife resembled Henry Waxman in drag..

If I understood the judges free speech line of argument then there is a HUGE hole it it's logic. The ACLU is given standing, even though no one has come forward to claim they've been personally affected, based upon the assumption that people are afraid to call the ACLU for fear of being under surveillance. The flaw is, the program does NOT monitor US to US communications but only international calls when one part is suspected of Al Qaeda ties. Now the judge is either suggesting that the ACLU is an Al Qaeda tied organization OR those whose are afraid to call the ACLU are people tied to Al Qaeda that are external to the US. So which is it that she believes is accurate? If the latter, than what right under US law do terrorist tied individuals outside of the US gain a right to protection from surveillance?

This old Bit@h is a Carter appointee, for Heaven's sake, what should we expect? An incompetent appoints an incompetent. This was an absolutely absurd ruling. I agree with the author, the only possible injured party she could find is the "enemy".
