My new favorite Federal Judge!

Yay! A federal court today declared Bush's warrentless wiretapping program unconstitutional. To quote her, she said the program "has undisputedly been implemented without regard to [the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] ... and obviously in violation of the Fourth Amendment."

Further, she herself quoted the late Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Earl Warren by saying, "Implicit in the term 'national defense' is the notion of defending those values and ideas which set this nation apart ... It would indeed be ironic if, in the name of national defense, we would sanction the subversion of ... those liberties ... which make the defense of the nation worthwhile."

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
