Finally, a judge who doesn't support the enemy.

[Txsleuth]

WOW....that is a shock.

Good judge...we need to find out who nominated her.

[Txsleuth]

Ellen Segal Huvelle

[Enterprise]

"U.S. Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle disagreed, saying that even if the program is ultimately determined to be illegal, it doesn't change the fact that the materials are classified and are not covered by the Freedom of Information Act."

Suck on a lemon libs.

[CottShop]

Will be overturned by a judge sympathetic to the dem agenda though I'm afraid. The NSA is the dems last ray of hope for villifying President Bush and they won't go down without a fight.

A Clinton mistake - ha ha ha.

[the Real fifi]

PFAW=George Soros, who is also a major funder of the ACLU.

[Txsleuth]

Well...so far I like her judgment.

[oceanview]

a Clinton appointee.

I guess she didn't get the memo.

[tobyhill]

It would have to go to a Federal Court of Appeals and it would be totally unlikely that the court panel would rule that classified information is subject to the FOIA. If the court did then we might as well get rid of all classifications. That Judge Taylor was somehow able to determine a law was broken without knowing what the details of the accusation was which is why this is a very important ruling, it doesn't give the plaintiffs a case based on no facts.

[jazusamo]

LOL! It looks like slick Willie might have done something right.

[Doctor Raoul]

The People for the American Way Foundation = Commie Bastards.

[tomnbeverly]

Is it possible that this is the begining of America getting serious on the War On Terror... I will withold judgement for now but good step.

[oceanview]

not the american left.

there is a long way to go in this case.

[CottShop]

Well, yeah, that's the facts, but dems don't really care about facts- this lawsuit should have never even made it into courts in the first place because of the frivilousness of it. The lawyers knew it stood no chance because of exactly what you pointed out- there was no way of knowing if the law was broken & the factr that the info is of such sensitive nature that it couldn't be made public without risking public safety.- that didn't stop the dems though- they went right agead with it. I'm just afraid a liberal judge like the one woman that ruled in the dems favor in the first place over wiretaps, will sadly prevail. Just nervousness on my part I guess- too skeptical I guess.

[tobyhill]

This judge made the best ruling possible, classified means classified and no matter what people think about the legality of the circumstances it's still classified and they don't have a right to know the details.
