NSA wiretapping ruled unconstitutional

Returning to the NSA thread for a moment, a judge in Detroit today ruled that the NSA wiretapping program is unconstitutional. Quoting from the Washington Post:

"U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor wrote in a strongly-worded 43-page opinion that the NSA wiretapping program violates privacy and free-speech rights and the constitutional separation of powers between the three branches of government. She also found that it violates a 1978 law set up to oversee clandestine surveillance."

Here is a copy of the decision:
