District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor found that President Bush exceeded his proper authority and that the eavesdropping without warrants violated the First and Fourth Amendment protections of free speech and privacy.
(...) Judge Taylor rejected the administration’s assertion that to defend itself against a lawsuit would force it to divulge information that should be kept secret in the name of national security."
Eu já pensava que os juízes norte-americanos se tinham esquecido que os Constituintes de 1787 consideraram que a declaração de direitos da Virginia era suficientes mas que se arrependeram e emendaram pouco tempo depois.
