UPDATE: I’ve started reading the opinion. The first thing that strikes me is that how Judge dismissed the government’s claim that the Plaintiff’s could not prove their conversations were being monitored. She relied on the affidavits of lawyers and a journalist who admitted they had contacts with terrorist organizations and people accused of helping the insurgency in Iraq. So when faced with admissions of people that they are in contact with alleged terrorist organizations - the Judge ordered the government to stop listening. Why? Because it impeded their ability to conduct research, engage in advocacy, interact with sources, and represent clients. The Judge also noted the financial “hardships” these Plaintiffs would face in having to travel to meet these people. This apparently trumps national security. This is insanity.
