We dig U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor...

According to the ACLU,

A federal court today ruled that the Bush administration’s program to monitor the phone calls and e-mails of Americans without warrants is unconstitutional and must be stopped.

    How long has our government been doing this?  According to the ACLU,

Beginning in 2001, President Bush secretly authorized the National Security Agency to conduct electronic surveillance of people within the United States, including U.S. citizens, without a warrant. The ongoing surveillance program has been in direct violation of FISA, which requires the executive branch to obtain a warrant before engaging in electronic surveillance of Americans.

    Well, it is about time that someone came to rescue the people of the United States of America.  Thanks go out to Judge Taylor and Jimmy Carter who appointed her back in 1979.
