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.

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.
