A judge appointed by Jimmy Carter has decided that the NSA wire-tapping program is unconstitutional. If her opinion stands, then Congress cannot pass a law permitting the program to continue. Thus, in her view, the US constitution is a suicide pact. I find it interestng that the ACLU brought suit on behalf of reporters, who calim they have been damaged because terrorists in the Middle East will no longer talk to them on the phone. ONe could point out that if the NYT had not exposed the program they would not have been damaged. This makes me wonder why reporters are talking to people who want to kill us? The reporters could go to the Middle East for interviews, but I suppose they may be concerned about the terrorists chopping off their head, since they are wont to do that occassionally. I have serious doubts about most reporters being on our side.
