I just read the opinion. Here are the key parts:
"Plaintiffs here contend that the TSP has interfered with their ability to carry out their professional responsibilities...For example scholars and journalists...must communicate with individuals abroad whom the United States government believes to be terrorist suspects or to be associated with terrorist organizations." (page 17)
"The injury to the Plaintiffs stems directrly from the TSP and their injuries can unequivocally be traced to the TSP." (page 23)
The judge has ruled that the government cannot interfere in communications with known terrorist organizations.
Does that mean that they couldn't "interfere" even with a warrant? I haven't had a chance to read the ruling yet.
The intelligence of this judge is not surprising, since she was appointed by Carter.
