I certainly appreciate the plans of both the American Civil Liberties Union (as a member) and the Electronic Frontier Foundation to sue over the constitutionality of the FISA bill, but I don’t think it will fly.
The same old song and dance of the past will be repeated, in the following version.
The lawsuits will be dismissed when the relevant district judge accepts the Bush “get out of jail free” note and OKs it.
The two organizations, with the same whistleblowers as plaintiffs, will sue.
Eventually, as has happened with other lawsuits, such as some against the Patriot Act, courts will find that the plaintiffs don’t have standing because they can’t prove they were personally affected.
Remember, you heard it here first.
