NSA bulk data collection ruled illegal!

WASHINGTON (PNN) - May 7, 2015 - The Fascist Police States of Amerika Court of Appeals has ruled that the bulk collection of telephone metadata is unlawful, in a landmark decision that clears the way for a full legal challenge against the Amerikan Gestapo National Security Agency division.

A panel of three federal judges for the Second Circuit overturned an earlier ruling that the controversial surveillance practice first revealed to the FPSA public by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden in 2013 could not be subject to judicial review.

“We hold that the text of section 215 cannot bear the weight the government asks us to assign to it, and that it does not authorize the telephone metadata program,” concluded their judgment.

“Such a monumental shift in our approach to combating terrorism requires a clearer signal from Congress than a recycling of oft used language long held in similar contexts to mean something far narrower,” the judges added.

“We conclude that to allow the government to collect phone records only because (it) may become relevant to a possible authorized investigation in the future fails even the permissive ‘relevance’ test. We agree with appellants that the government’s argument is ‘irreconcilable with the statute’s plain text’.”

FPSA Attorney general Loretta Lynch defended the NSA on Thursday after the ruling.
