And so it begins

http://news.yahoo.com/parents-navy-seal-killed-afghan-crash-file-first-164807941.html

A couple in Philadelphia has filed a class-action lawsuit against the National Security Agency and Verizon, claiming they and their phone records were targeted for surveillance because of their outspoken criticism of Barack Obama and the U.S. military. This is believed to be the first official lawsuit filed against the government and the company, since it was revealed that Verizon had been ordered to turn over phone metadata for all of its customers.

The lawyer leading the way in both lawsuits is Larry Klayman, the founder of the controversial Judicial Watch, which sued President Bill Clinton 18 times when he was in office, and sued President George W. Bush and Dick Cheney over their secretive Energy Task Force in 2003. Klayman even sued Judicial Watch after an acrimonious split with the organization in 2006.

Our old friend Larry Klayman...the Glen Beck of the legal community.

3. Good for them!

Having Larry Klayman represent them will certainly disabuse anyone of the suspicion that this is politically motivated.

4. This is where occupy comes in

Some of their people will be class action plaintiffs. Constitutional torts= attorneys fees in states such as CA

I'm telling you. The ACLU and the plaintiffs bar will blow this open. Congress is too afraid to act alone.
