What is most disturbing about this is that the original decision was the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and the appellate decision was the Foreign Surveillance Court of Review. Yahoo never got a hearing before a non-FISA court, and these two courts were deciding matters of Constitutional law.

    Government courts supporting government coercion... more invasions of privacy and violations of the spirit and letter of the law... all too commonplace. I am usually the last one to say "there should be a law", but there should be one that holds government officials liable for infringements of Constitutional rights.They sell our liberty---our rights for a false security-- for a pittance.
