Judge sides with NSA over ACLU in phone-surveillance case
 

The decision by U.S. District Judge William H. Pauley III came just days after another federal judge, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon in Washington, ruled that the NSA program "almost certainly" violated constitutional protections against unreasonable searches.

The ACLU lawsuit was regarded as the first significant legal challenge against the NSA program after it was disclosed in June.

"The natural tension between protecting the nation and preserving civil liberty is squarely presented by the Government's bulk telephony metadata collection program," wrote Judge Pauley in his 53-page ruling as he dismissed the ACLU lawsuit.

"While robust discussions are underway across the nation, in Congress, and at the White House, the question for this Court is whether the Government's bulk telephony metadata program is lawful. This Court finds it is. But the question of whether that program should be conducted is for the other two coordinate branches of Government to decide."

During arguments last month, Judge Pauley appeared receptive to the idea that Americans enjoy some level of privacy in their phone records.

Bottom line folks the Courts as well as the Justice system is corrupt to the core. The Government is waging war on the American people....Nothing to see here GO SHOPPING! SHEEPLETONS!

 Makes you wonder what the .gov had on this piece of trash, or was the payoff to great not to take.
