ACLU vs. NSA is FUBAR Since I’m not a lawyer, I was curious to see how some legal bloggers reacted to Anna Diggs Taylor’s vociferous decision striking down NSA surveillance, especially after it was revealed that the ACLU judge-shopped all the way to Michigan for a sympathetic justice. Well, according to Willisms and Polipundit, even the liberal bloggers couldn’t pretend that the decision was based on identifiable legal reasoning. Anne Althouse noted that the NY Times loved the decision until nearly everyone outside the editorial board bubble admitted it was nonsensical.

Some observers think the judge may have rushed her decision to avoid pending legislation that would move it to a specialized Washington DC court. (Apparently that's the good kind of judge-shopping.)

The smart bet is that neither the ruling nor the wiretapping program will stand. # posted by
