Then how is this news?
Lawsuit's already been dropped, because apparently the judge is a fucking retard:

No it's not. You just didn't read the news article.
The third paragraph says:
"The lawsuit comes three days after a US judge ruled that a separate NSA spying programme was lawful."
Which is the mobile phone spying programme. Ironic that you call a judge a fucking retard when you can't even read the opening few paragraphs.

Because these were new lawsuits made possible only by snowden's leaks.

Judge is a fucking retard anyway because that shouldn't be lawful either unless they're confirmed on a watchlist or something.

God bless Snowden.

Yeah, you're right. The judge is a fucking retard for producing a 54 page judgement, legally cited for their decision:

No... really, they're not. They've produced a decision that people obviously don't agree is palatable, but that doesn't mean they're wrong.

Perhaps there is legal precedent, but what is legal is not always right. They even say in the document that it is left to other branches to decide this.

That's pretty much legal speak for 'deciding whether this is right or not really isn't our department, so we're just gonna go with what's on the books and let you all figure it out'.
Fucking finally. Fuck NSA, fuck the man
