Supreme Court rejects case on NSA spying on Americans' Phone Calls (+video) -- Christian Science Monitor
The US Supreme Court on Monday refused to consider whether the NSA, in collecting and storing information about the phone calls of virtually every American, overstepped its authority under the law.
The US Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up a potential major case examining whether the National Security Agency’s bulk collection and storage of telephone metadata from virtually every American violate the limits of federal law.
The justices turned aside the case without comment. Had they agreed to take up the issue, the stage would have been set for a high-court showdown testing whether the NSA overstepped its authority under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) by collecting and storing telephone service information for every telephone call made and received in the US.
Several other cases pending in federal district courts challenge the massive collection program as an invasion of Americans’ privacy.
