The Supreme Court has ended a 6-year-old class-action lawsuit against the nation's telecommunications carriers for secretly helping the National Security Agency monitor phone calls and emails coming into and out of this country.
The suit was dealt a death blow in 2008 when Congress granted retroactive immunity to people or companies aiding U.S. intelligence agents.
Without comment, the justices turned down appeals from civil liberties advocates who contended this mass surveillance was unconstitutional and illegal.
Is this the same court that made a corporation a person? How about some court ruling that banks and other financial institutions can use depositors' accounts as collateral? Hey, didn't the "Honorable" Jon Corzine at IMF dip into some segregated depositor's accounts and "liberate" their money for his own gamblinginvesting? He misplaced over a billion in private depositor accounts and can't find it.
