Note that the courts striking down a law is a rebuke to Congress, not the executive agencies exercising it. Nor have I heard anything about the FBI ignoring court decisions - the second court case was the result of an amendment to the law, and its final result on appeal was not to ban NSLs, but merely to increase the role of the courts in evaluating their validity, and, if the recipient of one wishes to challenge it, to force the government to initiate the lawsuit rather than the recipient. Relatively dry stuff. It's hard to see how any of this implies that law enforcement has "gone rogue, stopped respecting Congress and the courts", except the one instance of misleading Congress about the number of NSLs issued, a decade ago.
