It is hard for software to do it 1000 per second.

Chicken and Egg - it is the monitoring that "triggers" the cause.

This woman is your basic liberal traitor. I am well past debate with these types. They deserve whatever negative things come their way. I bet the Jihadi's in Detroit are happy today.

You're right. I don't agree with the ruling.

What is so hard about showing cause and getting a warrent?

For one thing, getting a warrant would mean revealing too much information to Carter appointees like this one. Those who are making phone calls to jihadis and suspected jihadis world-wide (you know, the people who want to destroy our nation and its freedoms?), should be subjected to having their phone calls to the enemy monitored.

They are not entitled to the protections of the 4th Amendment, assuming it even applies to overseas phone calls. As a Supreme Court Justice once noted, "the Constitution is not a suicide pact" (Jimmy Carter, the ACLU, and CAIR notwithstanding).

There is a strong anti-civil rights streak around here these days

Might have something to do with being at war?!

The NSA program doesn't hold a candle to the civil rights that have been cautiously, but prudently surrendered in times of war in our nation's past.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit on behalf of journalists, scholars and lawyers who say the program has made it difficult for them to do their jobs

As if their jobs were more important that National Security.

What is so hard about showing cause and getting a warrent? GOOD decision

How do you get a warrant for a disposable cell phone?

I would hope SCOTUS overturns her and then I would hope the good citizens in Mich. would ask for an impeachment of this lefty Carter appointment.

Because they're all dealing with suspected terrorists?

I don't think she was appointed to the Circuit. It says she was the first Chief Judge in her Circuit. But she's only a district judge. The Chief Judge is just the number one district judge in the district. It only says that she was the first black woman in her Circuit to be appointed Chief Judge.

I'm not sure if Clinton's approval was necessary to make her a Chief Judge. It may be that the Circuit Judges make that decision. I don't think the district judges play any role in the appointment, but I'm not positive.

I was hoping folks would understand the sarcasm in my post. Perhaps you did, but rest assured it was saracasm if you didn't.

Send her to Iraq and leave her in the street. See how they respect her "right to privacy" and even more her right to life! What a doofus!
