ACLU fighting for our rights yet again

ACLU Sues to Stop Domestic Spying Program
NEW YORK - Civil liberties groups filed lawsuits in two cities Tuesday seeking to block President Bush's domestic eavesdropping program, arguing the electronic surveillance of American citizens was unconstitutional.

The New York suit, filed on behalf of the center and individuals, names President Bush, the head of the National Security Agency, and the heads of the other major security agencies, challenging the NSA's surveillance of persons within the United States without judicial approval or statutory authorization.

Of course, there is no reason to think that bush would obey this injunction, since he believes that he is the ultimate power in the world and doesn't have to explain himself to anyone, but at least this will continue to push the issue into the public consciousness.
