Court says eavesdropping program can continue
Wed Oct 4, 2006

CHICAGO (Reuters) - The government can continue to use its warrantless domestic wiretap program pending the Justice Department's appeal of a federal judge's ruling outlawing the program, an Appeals Court in Cincinnati ruled on Wednesday.

The ruling overturned District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor's decision last week to deny a lengthy stay in the case, which is expected to end up with the Supreme Court.

In August, Taylor ruled that the National Security Agency's five-year-old surveillance program, implemented as part of the government's war on terrorism, violates the civil rights of Americans.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed the suit in March on behalf of scholars, attorneys, journalists and non-profit groups that regularly communicate with people in the Middle East.

 . . . and other issues of Republican misfeasance, nonfeasance and general incompetence and stupidity.  Great toon of the "dropped shoes," BTW.  Looked in vain for Duke Cunningham's tortured sole, but it must have gotten lost in the pile.

Heal thyself! The Democrats aren't pure either, gents. Let's investigate all evenly and fairly and see what filth comes out in the end. No pre-judging, no snippy comments, just good ole policework.

Just remember: no one will ever look at a cigar the same way again!
