The Cysko Kid Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 http://m.usatoday.com/article/news/2412885 In a surprising move the ACLU sues the Obama administration over PRISM.

heckofajobbrownie Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Oh, I don't think this is going to do anything. These are programs that Congress has been briefed on. They debated them five years ago. None of this stuff is really new. Unless they discover something beyond what's been released it's not going to end up in impeachment. People on both sides support these programs. They'd have to have been abused in some way. And I don't think there's anything surprising about the ACLU suing. They have a very strict reading of the 4th Amendment. Even stricter than mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as a member of this session's intelligence committee, she said, she had not been briefed before the panoramic snooping program run by the NSA was revealed by The Guardian last week.
