No more warrantless eavesdropping
WaPo: "A federal judge in Detroit ruled yesterday that the National Security Agency's warrantless surveillance program is unconstitutional, delivering the first decision that the Bush administration's effort to monitor communications without court oversight runs afoul of the Bill of Rights and federal law."
Well done, U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor.
There's a lot of commentary on this story in the blogosphere. You can find all the latest at Memeorandum, but make sure to check out, above all, Glenn Greenwald, who in a must-read post with multiple updates declares that this is "extraordinary news -- extraordinarily good news -- on every level".
And it's about time.

Michael,
We disagree on this case, but to be honest, I don't understand the basis for your objection. If you have a moment, could you drop a comment explaining your position on this post. Thanks.

It's hard for me to think of anything to write about today, as the most massive occurences seem to be fallout of that decision, running down the old road of haivng to explain "we can still wiretap with warrants!"
I wonder, if that fact were loudly and undisputably understood by everyone who commented on the subject, if there would be as much of an opposing voice.
