4. I've been a paralegal for 25 yrs. I have background. I did note that Congress
through the provisions of the USA Patriot Act, has Not Waived Sovereign Immunity for the Equitable Relief the Plaintiffs in the case are seeking under FISA, the Wiretap Act, and ECPA. Until congress legislates to waive these provisions, immunity stands.

You people do realize that the Justice Department has a duty to defend its client, the US government don't you? What we need to do is pressure Obama to issue an executive order regarding wiretapping or to pressure congress to change the patriot act provisions. I also noted that it was stated in the motion that the Terrorist Surveillance Program is "now inoperative".
