Federal appeals court reinstates key FISA lawsuit

The last glimmer of hope for undoing at least one part of the Bush administration's illegal activities, which the Obama administration has likely continued, flickers a little stronger today, thanks to the courts. A federal appeals court has reinstated Amensty et al. v. Blair, a suit filed by the ACLU and numerous other groups to "stop the government from conducting surveillance under the FISA Amendments Act (FAA), a statute that gives the executive branch virtually unchecked power to collect Americans' international e-mails and telephone calls."
