ACLU v. Bush

A judge in Detroit heard testimony today from a group of plaintiffs represented by the ACLU that the government's warrantless wire tapping program is unconstitutional. "The government's arguments that the president, alone, can decide to spy on Americans without a warrant are fundamentally un-American and contradict the vision of the founders of our democracy," argued ACLU attorney Ann Beeson. The government replied that the plaintiff's views of civil liberties and the Constitution are "extreme." Details here.
