US judge orders release of justification for spying
http://www.aljazeera.com/news/americ...225666982.html
"A US court has ordered the Obama administration to declassify a 2008 court decision justifying the Prism spying programme revealed last month by whistleblower Edward Snowden.
The ruling, issued earlier this week, will show how the state has legally justified its covert data collection programmes under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Judge Reggie Walton of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court issued the ruling to declassify the decision. The government is expected to decide by August 26 which parts of the 2008 decision may be published."
Also:
"Meanwhile, 19 organisations represented by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has filed a suit against the NSA for violating their right of association by illegally collecting their call records.
The coalition includes Unitarian church group, gun ownership advocates, and a broad coalition of membership and political advocacy groups."

Great news.. feels like our freedoms are being taken away more and more each day and we are always been spied on when all we are doing is trying to live and raise our kids.
