- Reasoning:
-
“In my view, the ACLU and the plaintiffs are entirely right to have brought the suit [aimed at curbing the FBI’s expanded spy powers granted in the USA PATRIOT Act]. Americans should not have to worry that the FBI is rifling through their personal belongings – learning what clubs we belong to, what charities we give to, and what books we read.”
