The U.S. 6th Circuit Ct. of Appeals has vacated last years Order by Judge Anna Diggs Taylor (ACLU v. NSA Case No. 06-2095/2140) saying, "...we can not find that the Plaintiff's have standing for any of their claims, we must vacate the the District Court's Order and remand for dismissal of the entire action."
Last year a United States District Court (USDC) in Detroit, MI struck down the ability of the White House to conduct surveillance with the use of wire tapping. In 2006 USDC Judge Taylor Ordered the Government to immediately suspend its efforts to listen in on the conversations of suspected terrorists citing that it was an unconstitutional infringement on the right of privacy and free speech.
After the decision by the U.S. 6th Circuit Ct. of Appeals, the ACLU has said that the fight is not over and they may file an Appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court, to rule on the President's authority to conduct surveillance.
The NSA will now be able to again conduct surveillance by wire-tapping potential terrorist suspects who intend to cause harm to the security of the United States and our Allies.
