The official Banana Peel Paper Laws of 2002 outlines the necessary rules for munkey society.
A whistle-blower revealed AT&T was allowing the NSA to wiretap internet and telephone connections. The EFF promptly sued AT&T. The government has stepped in using a rare, powerful power: the state secret priviledge.
From what I understand, this isn't a law. It isn't a power outlined in our Constitution. It is, however, an "English common law" which was "upheld in a 1953 Supreme Court case involving the fatal crash of a secret bomber." Almost every time its been invoked since, the Courts have thrown the case.
Translation: The wiretaps are illegal, we don't want to embarrass our President who already suffers a very low approval rating, and we're going to use the all-inclusive "security" argument to make sure the evidence stays hidden.
Don't die.
