That's why it's going back to be reviewed but it's not why it was dismissed in the first place. The government asked for dismissal because 1: The ACLU lacks standing (denied) 2: Sovereign Immunity (upheld but reversed) 3: Bulk collection was authorized by congress (upheld but reversed) 4: bulk collection does not violate 4th or 1st amendments (upheld) tl;dr: Court: Authorized by congress and constitutional. Appeals Court: Not authorized by congress, therefore we can ignore any constitutional aspects of it. https://www.aclu.org/files/assets/order_granting_governments_motion_to_dismiss_and_denying_aclu_motion_for_preliminary_injunction.pdf https://www.aclu.org/files/assets/order_granting_governments... http://pdfserver.amlaw.com/nlj/NSA_ca2_20150507.pdf http://pdfserver.amlaw.com/nlj/NSA_ca2_20150507.pdf
