A Rare Victory For Freedom & The Constitution

From the HuffPo:

[Wednesday's landmark court ruling that the Bush administration's warrantless surveillance program was flatly illegal is, unfortunately, not only of historical significance.

The program, after all, continues to this day, in a somewhat modified but still arguably unconstitutional manner -- and hasn't always stayed even within those parameters.

But even more importantly, the ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn R. Walker angrily rejected the Obama administration's attempts to get the case dismissed on the basis of a "state secrets" privilege. That assertion was first made by Bush administration lawyers, but was enthusiastically re-asserted by President Obama's Justice Department.]

So now the patriot act is falling apart. People finally ruled at least the wire tapping as it is. Unconstitutional. This is perhaps the best news i've heard in a long time. That along with ACORN closing.
