Injunction against NSA wiretaps

A judge in a District Court in Detroit ruled today that the NSA's wiretapping program is unconstitutional and ordered an immediate halt to it.

TPM Muckraker is following this closely and posting updates/excerpts to the ruling and the reactions to it.

Update: As anticipated, Glenn Greenwald has a continuously-updated discussion of the findings.

I am looking forward to reading the ruling myself - I just downloaded it. If told just five years ago that I would be enthusiastic about reading any rulings or get excited about confirmation hearings for that matter, I would have laughed, wildly. My how things change in our lives. . .
