This is a major constitutional ruling on one of the most abused provisions of FISA."
FISA Backdoor Surveillance Unconstitutional The recent ruling in United States v. Hasbajrami has sent shockwaves through the legal and intelligence communities, marking a decisive moment in the fight against warrantless surveillance under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall’s decision that backdoor searches of FISA Section 702 databases violate the Fourth Amendment represents a significant milestone for privacy advocates and civil rights defenders.
This ruling has profound implications for government surveillance practices, reaffirming constitutional protections in the digital age.
Say this holds through the supreme court.
How do we keep the other four-eyes out?
My argument would be they are acting as agents of the US so would be prohibited as well.
But until that one goes through the courts...
Well, I’m glad.
But I also feel like the System is trying to take some weapons away from Trump. They used FISA. It was useful to them. Now the game has changed, and FISA is suddenly double-plus ungood.
Well, it is not as if those who do unconstitutional things will suddenly cease from doing them.
Needs to be retroactive.
Appointed by 0bama—yes, this is to stop spying on all the Democrats.
I guess Becker was too lazy to link to the Court’s decision.

Any word for what the work around is going to be? Because they don’t have the best track record of thinking they are bound by law.
This case has been banging around since 2011!
All a court can do is prohibit the use of these methods in legal proceedings, and perhaps protect unwary victims of this surveillance from public disclosure.
Does this mean my computer is going to start functioning at least half-way right again.?
FISA was never any good, the entire do called patriot act has allowed the deep state to grow deeper...
This Supreme Court has demonstrated it is totaly subservience to Congress. Congress passed it so this Court will over rule the Judge and rubber stamp Congress.

This Hasbajrami?
.... at the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York in Brooklyn, New York, Agron Hasbajrami, an Albanian citizen and Brooklyn resident, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for attempting to provide material support to terrorists. Hasbajrami will be removed from the United States at the conclusion of his sentence.
The sentence was announced by Loretta E. Lynch, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York; Lisa O. Monaco, Assistant Attorney General for the National Security Division; George Venizelos, Assistant Director in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field Office; and Raymond W. Kelly, Commissioner, New York City Police Department.
As stated on the record during the guilty plea and sentencing proceedings and according to court filings, in early 2011, while living in Brooklyn, Hasbajrami exchanged e-mail messages with an individual in Pakistan who indicated that he was a member of an armed group that had murdered American soldiers. Hasbajrami sent the individual more than $1,000 to support the jihadist cause.
Then, in pursuit of his goal to engage personally in violent jihad, Hasbajrami arranged to meet the individual in the Federally Administered Tribal Area of Pakistan (the FATA). In one e-mail message, Hasbajrami stated that he wished to travel abroad to “marry with the girls in paradise,” using jihadist rhetoric to describe his desire to die as a martyr....
