Think about the implications if the court that prosecuted this case threw it out due to unconstitutional intelligence gathering. He doesn't deserve to get off, but wouldn't a decision like that have implications across the US?
I claim no knowledge of legalese other than having watched Law and Order, so if this is ridiculous please edify me.

This doctrine is well enough established that undermining it would have far greater implications than letting a single lawbreaker go free.
