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?

It has to be, with the way that they've systematically gone about their business and not provoked a major reaction. Ruthless,e fficient, and effective, with a great figurehead in power and enough people turning a blind eye in the right places.

If we impeach Bush, we get Cheney. We can impeach Cheney... and all the way down the line if we have to.
