6th Circuit Junks NSA Spying Case

The U.S. 6th Circuit Court ruled that the plaintiffs had no standing in claiming that the NSA Terrorist Surveillance Program is unconstitutional. The ruling resulted from the fact that the ACLU, et al., couldn't prove that any of the plaintiffs had actually been monitored under the program.

The district court's ruling was vacated and the case was remanded with instructions to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. Good.

There's a good synopsis with illuminating commentary at Stop The ACLU. Go visit.
