Supreme Court Rules No Challenges to FISA

2/26/2013

0 Comments

 
 Is the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and the warrantless wiretapping of US citizens it allows for, constitutional? We may never know, because the Supreme Court just ruled that the law can't be challenged in federal court. In a 5-4 decision, the court today agreed to a government request to throw out a lawsuit filed by lawyers, journalists, and other organizations who had argued that people who suspected they'd been targeted by wiretaps should be able to challenge the law

But the court's conservative majority sided with the government, which said they couldn't sue unless they could prove they had been monitored—despite detractor complaints that such a standard creates a Catch-22, CNNreports. Plaintiffs "cannot demonstrate that the future injury they purportedly fear is certainly impending," Samuel Alito wrote in the majority opinion, arguing that there were enough legal safeguards on the program, and pointing out that, if the government used the surveillance information to prosecute anyone, they'd have to disclose it.
