There will inevitably be a grand jury subpoena requesting NSA stored data.

The following litigation will determine if such evidence is admissible. The litigation will be conducted in secret to protect national security. Without public scrutiny, the ruling will not face needed public discourse to consider constitutionality. The ruling itself may not be disclosed without public pressure to do so. That is how secretive this entire process has demonstrated itself to be thus far.

It is so very predictable
