Judge Finds Warrantless Spying Illegal - A federal judge in Detroit has found that the National Security Agency's controversial warrantless surveillance program is illegal. U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor found that the program violated the First and Fourth Amendments of the Constitution and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), among other statutes. CDT has maintained that the warrantless surveillance program is illegal and undermines ordinary Americans' fundamental freedoms. CDT applauds the court for applying the law correctly and ordering that this dangerous, unnecessary program be stopped. August 17, 2006
