trying to distract from that most important ruling where the people have finally been represented, in a REAL COURT, not a Secret Court. And frankly it SHOULD have been a Democrat who filed the case. Don't blame Klayman for the lack of accountability for the massive violations of our rights, if there is no Democrat willing to take this matter to a real court and stop these Bush policies which should have been stopped years ago.

Not to mention that the NSA is still populated by Right Wing morons appointed by Bush, still pushing the policies we on the Left totally opposed back then.

I am thrilled with the ruling today, it is the first test of these policies in a 'not secret court' and has vindicated all the Civil Libertarians, all the Democrats who all along said that these policies were unconstitutional, because they ARE.

Frankly many people no longer care who brings these cases to court. Our rights have been egregiously violated for over a decade now. Where are the Democrats? Why didn't they file suit rather than leaving it to someone like Klayman? Wake me up when the Dems start challenging these Bush policies, so far I have not seen it.
