Judge nixes warrantless surveillance
AP - 1 hour, 31 minutes ago

DETROIT - A federal judge ruled Thursday that the government's warrantless wiretapping program is unconstitutional and ordered an immediate halt to it. U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor in Detroit became the first judge to strike down the National Security Agency's program, which she says violates the rights to free speech and privacy as well as the separation of powers enshrined in the Constitution.

So, I guess my question is in two parts: (a) how long before another court overrules/reinstates, and (b) will Bush et al just ignore it?

I have lost all hope in anything resembling a spine being present in the Democratic Party.

I'd be happy with signs of life at this point.

There's certainly no signs of intelligence.

Sadly not. I'm starting to think that the "Cthulu for President" bumpersticker on my car---proclaiming it the better choice when you're tired of choosing "the lesser evil"---is starting to get more and more timely.
