One "plaintiff" in the nuisance lawsuits being filed against the Director of the NSA et al is none other than the granddaughter of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg -- Rachel Meeropol.
Lest we forget, the Rosenbergs were executed in 1953 for helping to pass US atom bomb secrets to the Soviet Union. (Most fittingly, Julius's KGB nom de guerre was "Liberal.")
True to her roots, Rachel is a Vice President of the New York City chapter of the communist National Lawyers Guild. She is also a fixture in some of the most ultra left organizations out there, such as The Children Of Resistance.
Of course you'd never know any of this from our watchdog media who are promoting the story, such as the Associated Press...
Media darlings Ethel and Julius Rosenberg.

Despite all of the liberals attempts at revisionism, the declassification of the Venona files showed that the Rosenbergs were guilty as charged and got exactly what they deserved.
I think that well grounded comment referred to the method of execution, they were electrocuted.
Nah, he's an Episcopalian.
That's my question: how does she KNOW she has standing?
That Apple didn't fall too far from the Tree. Speaking of Trees and short ropes.....

Levin is having a canary about it.
"Again, how does she KNOW they have her " tapped?" How does she have STANDING -- because she's their grandchild?"
The rest of the article answers some of your questions. But it kept being deleted (even though the AP material was heavily excerpted).
But in a nutshell, Rachel is working with the CCR, which is defending terrorists and their enablers, like Lynne Stewart.
So she might be in fact correct. Since she was probably talking to Al Qaeda members on a regular basis.
"Levin is having a canary about it."
I would have sent it too him earlier, but he gets too much mail.
He got it somehow. ;-)
He got it somehow. ;-)
"cuse me I burped.
So THAT's who she is!! She was on Dayside this morning.... what I thought of her cannot be repeated here.
I saw a little of that also, I threw a pillow at the tv!
"If he wanted to honor them, why didn't he keep their last name?"
He and his brother Michael were adopted by some lefty songwriters:
"The Rosenbergs' children
The Rosenbergs' two sons, Robert and Michael, were orphaned by the execution, and no relatives dared adopt them for fear of ostracism or worse. They were finally adopted by the songwriters Ann and Abel Meeropol. Abel Meeropol wrote the classic anti-lynching anthem "Strange Fruit," made famous by singer Billie Holiday. Robert and Michael co-wrote a book about the experience, We are your sons: The legacy of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg (1975), and Robert wrote another book in 2004, An execution in the family: One son's journey. In 1990, Robert founded the Rosenberg Fund for Children, a non-profit foundation which provides support for children whose parents are Left-wing activists involved in court cases.
Michael's daughter, Ivy Meeropol, directed a 2004 documentary about her grandparents, Heir to an Execution, which was featured at the Sundance Film Festival."

All of the descendents have managed to make nice careers out of being the offspring of the Rosenbergs.
What did she say?
Pinch Sr. is Jewish. Pinch Jr. was raised Episcopal by his mom. I doubt the jihadists will make a distinction.
Plaintiff Rachel Meeropol, an attorney at the center, said she believes she has been targeted. "I'm personally outraged that my confidential communication with my clients may have been listened to by the U.S. government," she said.
Maybe ...
She knows she has had contact with the terrorists
Or someone in the know (Rockefeller) clued her in
Or she is just blowing smoke
