A California district judge ruled on Tuesday U.S. citizens cannot sue the National Security Agency for invading their privacy covertly unless the citizen can prove, without a doubt, the NSA was spying secretly on the citizen.
District Judge Jeffrey White ruled in Jewel v. NSA, the plaintiff could not sue the NSA because they did not obtain and provide for the courts any evidence showing their personal information was collected by the agency. Because of Jewel’s failure to provide such information, White wrote, according to Mother Jones, “even if Plaintiffs could establish standing, a potential Fourth Amendment Claim would have to be dismissed on the basis that any possible defenses would require impermissible disclosure of state secret information.”

They've admitted that they listen to every call and activate more security measures once trigger words are said.
ReplyDeleteIf the judge wants to defend tyranny maybe he should be sacrificed in the name of that tyranny.
ReplyDelete1215 - good!
ReplyDeleteI TOLD you before --- the NSA is absolutely, unequivocally, and totally IMMUNE from prosecution for any act they commit in the USA. Its the law.
ReplyDeleteThe judges want to throw as much BS legal reasoning they can into the mix, but that's the bottom line.
Keep us arguing the "fine points".
But, as the judge demonstrated, "we, the people" are screwed. And he (the judge) is helping them.
Who (without money and power) STILL THINKS they are somehow "represented" in our republic?
And 12:15 needs clarification. The NSA is (illegally, but now officially sanctioned by Obama) recording EVERY electronic communication, not just ones with "trigger words". E-mail, texts, calls, faxes, you name it.
It's a Brave New World.
Keep cheering.
Here are some trigger words for our sneaky friends in the good old NSA who are so concerned about people's privacy and civil rights: "Up Yours !"
