Mr Klayman added Mr Little to his case to address the standing concern.J.Other
plaintiffs in the case, including conservative activist Larry Klayman, who began
the lawsuit, were not included in the ruling, due to issues concerning
standing.It also comes just weeks before the NSA is scheduled to end its
controversial bulk collection programme in favour of a more targeted system.The
decision is of little practical consequence because it is so narrow in scope in
covering only Mr Little and his firm.Mr Leon, a conservative judge appointed by
former President George W.
But the ruling’s language is forceful and represents
a win for civil liberties groups concerned that NSA surveillance is too
intrusive.Mr Leon said he did not stay his Monday decision "because it has been
almost two years since I first found that the NSA’s bulk telephony metadata
programme likely violates the Constitutionâ€.On Twitter, Mr Snowden cheered the
"historic decision†as one that concluded the NSA "violated Americans’ privacy
rightsâ€.Unlike previous rulings against the NSA’s programme to vacuum up
Americans’ call data, which was exposed publicly by former NSA contractor Edward
Snowden in 2013, Mr Leon’s opinion does not grant a stay, meaning it will take
effect immediately."It will not, however, be the last chapter in the ongoing
struggle to balance privacy rights and national security interests under our
Constitution in an age of evolving technological wizardry,†he wrote.

injunction to bar the NSA from collecting the phone metadata of California

That new regime, as mandated by the United States Congress earlier
in Vacuum space bag 2015, will
become active on November 29.A higher court previously rejected Mr Klayman’s
challenge, saying he could not prove his phone was targeted by the NSA as Mr
Snowden’s documents only revealed customers of Verizon Business Network

vocal judges critical of the NSA’s spying practices. Little and his small legal
practice.Mr Leon wrote that the case may be the last court evaluation of the
