Former Justice Department prosecutor Larry Klayman amended an existing lawsuit against Verizon and a slew of Obama administration officials Monday to make it the first class-action lawsuit in response to the publication of a secret court order instructing Verizon to hand over the phone records of millions of American customers on an "ongoing, daily basis."

Klayman told U.S. News he will file a second class-action lawsuit Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia targeting government officials and each of the nine companies listed in a leaked National Security Agency slideshow as participants in the government's PRISM program."

If I'm not mistaken, we've already bought off the majority of the District Court Judges there so it doesn't really matter what the facts are.

I thought you guys hated trial lawyers and big frivilous class action suits?

Thank you for admitting it.

And it is absolutely 100 percent true.:clap2:

What slime you are...

Actually, Obama didn't buy them so much as illegally investigate their affaris, tax dodges, substance abuse, families and internet porn useage. (joke)

Actually, we've been down this road before, and the 6th Cir dismissed the suit. It's cynical, but the court said since the plaintiffs could not prove they were surveiled, they had no standing to sue, though of course the reason they couldn't prove it was because the govt refused to tell them. A catch 22 to be sure.

Rather than getting rid of Obama, or any other potus, imo the focus shoudl be on protecting what information can be used for. I don't mind being investigated for being a terrorist. Telling my boss I posted on company time is another matter, or telling my wife I used 60 hours of porn last month ....
 
And how is anyone going to prove standing?

And what remedy do they have? The Court has repeatedly stated that the only remedy for fourth amendment violation is supression of evidence in criminal cases.

These lawsuits will likely be tossed out without an alternative violation.

Now if they are in a state that have privacy violation torts, they might have a shot, but proving damages is going to be difficult.
