I’m sure this Supreme Court is above the political considerations:
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court has rejected a challenge to the Bush administration’s domestic spying program.
The justices’ decision Tuesday includes no comment explaining why they turned down the appeal from the American Civil Liberties Union.
The ACLU wanted the court to allow a lawsuit by the group and individuals over the warrantless wiretapping program. An appeals court dismissed the suit because the plaintiffs cannot prove their communications have been monitored.
david kurtz at TPM summarized the decision best:
as i mentioned a few days ago, this is really what the telecom immunity push is all about. it’s not about scratching the back of campaign contributors as much as closing the only avenue left for courts to review bush’s warrantless wiretap program.
You know, I would ask you to post here regularly if I thought I could get you to use capital letters when warranted.
