Court Dismisses ACLU Suit on Domestic Spying

HeadlineJul 09, 2007

Here in the United States, a federal appeals court has dismissed a lawsuit challenging the Bush administration’s domestic spy program. The American Civil Liberties Union had filed the suit on behalf of journalists, academics and lawyers who feared they had been targeted. In a two-to-one ruling, the court ruled the plaintiffs can’t challenge the program because they can’t prove they’ve been monitored. The ACLU says it will consider an appeal to the Supreme Court.
