The Battle of the Judges: NY Judge Says NSA Metasearch Legal

As recorded two weeks ago, a judge for the Washington DC federal district ruled the NSA's data collection program was likely unconstitutional.



Today, another federal district judge (for the New York district) ruled the other way: N.Y. judge rules NSA phone surveillance is legal




Quote:








A federal judge on Friday found that the National Security Agency's bulk collection of millions of Americans' telephone records is legal and a valuable part of the nation's arsenal to counter the threat of terrorism.



U.S. District Judge William Pauley said in a written opinion that the program "represents the government's counter-punch" to eliminate al-Qaeda's terror network by connecting fragmented and fleeting communications.





Dunh-dunh-duuuuuuun!



Next stop, the United States Supreme Court. This is going to be a profound ruling on the future direction of the country.
