A federal judge dismissed a long-stalled class-action lawsuit against the National Security Agency on Wednesday, writing that a suggestion he was influenced by the “deep state” was no substitute for “well-pleaded” legal arguments.
U.S. District Judge Richard Leon wrote that conservative legal activist Larry Klayman had not offered a sufficient legal basis for keeping the case active against the NSA's bulk collection of domestic call records.
“Instead, Klayman accused this Court of being ‘coopted by the so called ‘Deep State’’ into ruling against him. Unfortunately for plaintiffs, such baseless accusations are no substitute for a well-pleaded complaint,” Leon wrote.

“Unfortunately for plaintiffs, such baseless accusations are no substitute for a well-pleaded complaint, Leon said”
The judge is right and Klayman should take the hint and make a better case when he refiles.
Which means that is exactly what happened.
Thou protests a little too much. Judge looks bad in this. Facts known and budgets with huge collection facilities are a reality. Asking what they are doing is perfectly just. Since Congress appropriates the NSA funding, Congress has much to explain here as well.

This isn’t going to go on forever.
Leon was nominated to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia by George W. Bush on September 10, 2001.
Just thought I’d throw this little tidbit out there.
That’s exactly what I’d expect him to say if he was taking care of the deep state.
Bttt.

When dealing with deep state no matter how good your case you never win the list is a long one.
It was Daddy Bush that put the Deep State on steroids.
Did Larry win his lawsuit against his mother?

Not necessarily as not all are deep state. Our side has the lynch pin which ultimately wins.
The absence of any evidence is proof the deep state conspiracy is working!
Klayman’s always been half a bubble off.
Of course he did. He’s part of the “deep state” swamp critters gang.
Simply reading the Fourth Amendment in to the record of the first court proceeding should have established more than sufficient legal basis for "keeping the case active against the NSA's bulk collection of domestic call records" - for any judge who is not a totalitarian a$$hole.
You mean the same BUSH II who gave us Chief Pirate Roberts- the man who agreed with Obama that Omabacare was a TAX?
