Ummm. In cases like this...they didn't.
The problem is the UNWARRENTED taps on domestic sources.
That's not even the issue, much less the problem...and that's where you're getting all screwed up. The taps are on foreign sources, without regard for who they are talking to. The court ruling is that these foreign sources speech is protected from monitoring if they talk to domestic sources...and that's just silly.
