There's tons of precedent for murder. There's no precedent for massive surveillance. We may have some precedent with this case.
Thank goodness for Snowden or we'd probably have none of these cases going to trial. In many ways you can see agencies stopping the <shady thing> instead of taking it to court. They do that because if they lose then it becomes actually illegal and the power grab gets harder.

- matt_wulfeck 11y agoThat's a good point. I actually think that point would make a good argument in court.
