ACLU vs. Clapper, Alexander, Hagel, Holder, and Mueller - 10

Military NSA headquarters

Regular readers know that we have been taking note of various lawsuits against the military NSA secret and untreated habit of spying on all Americans (ACLU vs. Clapper, Alexander, Hagel, Holder, and Mueller).

The ACLU v Clapper case was filed in a federal district court in New York.

As it turns out, that case was eventually dismissed by the federal district court judge in New York, thereafter it was appealed to the Federal Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (ACLU vs. Clapper, Alexander, Hagel, Holder, and Mueller - 8).

Since this series began, the world has pretty much turned against the military NSA, not because of the case, but because of the odious nature of the military NSA (ACLU vs. Clapper, Alexander, Hagel, Holder, and Mueller - 9).

The ACLU has already filed its opening brief in the appellate court (Brief PDF).

Now the military NSA has filed its reply brief (Brief PDF).

Here is a page that has all of the ACLU v Clapper documents in this case.

If we lose in that appellate court, it is likely to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

If we lose there, we are in very dire straits indeed.
