The ACLU was like, “OMG, Bushhitler was listening to my phonecalls when I call overseas! Make him stop!” The Supreme Court was like, “STFU n00b!”

From the AP here:

The Supreme Court, without comment, turned down an appeal from the American Civil Liberties Union to let it pursue a lawsuit against Bush administration’s warrantless wiretapping program that began shortly after the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

The ACLU sued on behalf of itself, other lawyers, reporters and scholars, arguing that the program was illegal and that they had been forced to alter how they communicate with foreigners who were likely to have been targets of the wiretapping.

A federal judge in Detroit largely agreed, but the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the suit, saying the plaintiffs could not prove their communications had been monitored and thus could not prove they had been harmed by the program.

The government has refused to turn over information about the closely guarded program that could reveal who has been under surveillance.
