NSA Evesdropping Allowed to Continue

Fortunately the Appeals Court has some sense. (and far less partisan knee jerk reactions)

The government can continue to use its warrantless domestic wiretap program pending the Justice Department's appeal of a federal judge's ruling outlawing the program, an Appeals Court in Cincinnati ruled on Wednesday.

The ruling overturned District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor's decision last week to deny a lengthy stay in the case, which is expected to end up with the Supreme Court.

In August, Taylor ruled that the National Security Agency's five-year-old surveillance program, implemented as part of the government's war on terrorism, violates the civil rights of Americans.

At least the case will find a fair hearing in the Supreme Court. That is more than could be said for Taylor's court.
