'Call records intimate portraits of the lives of millions of Americans'
A legal challenge to the National Security Agency’s program of spying on Americans has received the support of two privacy-rights heavyweights, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Attorney Larry Klayman, founder of Freedom Watch and a columnist for WND, previously obtained a stunning preliminary ruling by a district court judge that the NSA surveillance likely is unconstitutional.
The case has been advanced to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and the two organizations have filed a friend-of-the-court brief in support of the district court ruling.
“The call records collected by the government are not just metadata – they are intimate portraits of the lives of millions of Americans,” the brief states.
The data, it says, “reveals political affiliation, religious practices and peoples’ most intimate associations.”

There is no privacy in the last days. BE VERY CAREFUL HOW YOU WANT TO BE PORTRAYED, judged by your internet and smart phone activities. Especially if you are thinking of resisting. This is why most politicians have no guts to stand up against evil.
