Fed court rules mass collection of phone metadata illegal

Sadly, they don’t rule it unconstitutional.

    Yet.

    They didn’t reach it because it was moot. They strongly hinted that if they did reach the question, it would be unconstitutional as well.

    (Questions like this are like, “Would I buy a million dollar ice cream sundae?” Well, I don’t have a million dollars, so I don’t reach the question of “would I”, but you can assume I would not.)

    Uh, if it’s illegal, why isn’t someone going to jail?

  3. Kristophr Says:

    Courts will always try to take the easy way out. A Constitutional challenge will require one vs. an agency actually following the law.

    Robert: Under Obama, no one in the executive branch gets prosecuted unless Obama personally wants their head.

  4. DocMerlin Says:

    @robert:
    Because the executive has monopoly on federal prosecutions (except for impeachment based ones) so why would he prosecute himself?

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
