I really want all of this to go through the Supreme Court before Congress decides either way on it, because I worry they will pass some laws that make this only slightly less awful, but at the same time make all current lawsuits irrelevant.
If there's one lawsuit say regarding the Patriot Act, and the Patriot Act get repealed and then replaced with something else in the meantime, does the lawsuit still continue, for example?
But even if it does, and let's say it says it's completely unconstitutional and whatnot, that still wouldn't apple to the "new law" that is slightly less awful, would it? It would require a new lawsuit against those specific provisions, right?
So this is what I'm worried about, and why I'd prefer all this goes through the Supreme Court before Congress starts passing new surveillance laws, because then they'd have a much lower chance of passing something that's already been declared unconstitutional in a new law.
