Judge Rules Against Patriot Act Provision

Yahoo! News - Judge Rules Against Patriot Act Provision

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Surveillance powers granted to the FBI under the Patriot Act, a cornerstone of the Bush Administration's war on terror, were ruled unconstitutional by a judge on Wednesday in a new blow to U.S. security policies.
Marrero, stating that "democracy abhors undue secrecy," found that the law violates constitutional prohibitions against unreasonable searches. He said it also violated free speech rights by barring those who received FBI demands from disclosing they had to turn over records.

Another setback for poor Georgie. Pretty good score on this one. I haven't seen a law that violated 2 constitutional rights in one shot. Don't forget to check out the 2 prior posts in this thread.
