Larry Klayman is an interesting plaintiff in this case.[1] He was a career Justice Department prosecutor during the Reagan administration and worked on the successful antitrust case against the former ATT telephone monopoly. Another article[2] agrees with the article kindly submitted here in reporting that the United States district judge (appointed by President George W. Bush) has stayed his ruling, pending a very likely appeal by the federal government, but it is clear that he thinks the current surveillance program is too broad to be constitutional based on the testimony at trial. That's good legal work. The link to the full opinion of the district court[3] loads very slowly just now, presumably because many readers are trying to access it. AFTER EDIT: A legal blogger has put up a copy of the court opinion on a page that loads rapidly.[4] [1] http://www.freedomwatchusa.org/klayman http://www.freedomwatchusa.org/klayman [2] http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/12/16/usa-security-ruling-idUSL2N0JV1DT20131216 http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/12/16/usa-security-rulin...
