Finally the wheels of Justice are moving forward. Today the Court found that the Patriot Act violated the Constitution and thereby changes are necessary in the processes necessary for corporate monitoring, the use of confidential letters demanding information, and the monitoring of electronic communications. The case was brought by the ACLU.
“Courts have a constitutionally mandated role to play when national security policies infringe on First Amendment rights,” said Jameel Jaffer, director of the ACLU’s National Security Project. “A statute that allows the FBI to silence people without meaningful judicial oversight is unconstitutional.”
