NSA Metadata in Court

In the Wall Street Journal today, Joe Palazzolo writes that NSA is about to have another day in court over the legality of collecting metadata which has a D.C. judge, standing alone in judicial circles, has decided it is unconstitutional.  This liberal court has a record of decisions like this.

The ACLU has used Top Secret documents, disclosed by Edward Snowden, in the preparation of its case.  What an unbelievable set of circumstances allows these documents to be published to begin with, then used by the ACLU in bringing an action against NSA, to undermine the counter-terrorism actions of the U.S. government.  The D.C. court doesn't seem to think there is anything wrong with this.  The ACLU encourages it in the name of freedom, privacy and anything else they can squeeze into a brief.  The judges who will hear this case are appointed by Democrats, and two of them have prior history with this issue, voting against it.  The Supreme Court overruled them.  So, do we think they learned anything from that?  Not a chance.  This court is trying to make laws, not enforce the ones they have.
