ACLU Sues Obama Over Phone Logs


The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit against the Obama administration contending that the collection of logs of domestic phone calls is illegal.  They are requesting that a judge both stop it and order the records purged.

Under George W. Bush the phone logs targeted were only those involving a foreign party, while these logs include domestic to domestic calling.

It is believed that the lawsuit, filed in New York, could eventually work its way to the Supreme Court, bringing into play the Fourth Amendment, regarding the fundamental right against unreasonable search and seizure.
