And the bastards wouldn't even give a reason why. From CQ Politics:
The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a challenge to the National Security Agency's warrantless surveillance program.
The justices, without comment, refused to review a lower court's decision in the case of American Civil Liberties Union v. National Security Agency.
The order is a win for the Bush administration, which has been fighting such lawsuits since shortly after the existence of the surveillance program was publicized in December 2005.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit ruled 2-1 in July that the plaintiffs, led by the ACLU, lacked standing to bring the case.
The New York Times revealed two years ago that President Bush had ordered the NSA — shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks — to spy on U.S. citizens without judicial approval as a counter-terrorism tactic. In January 2007, the administration announced it had secured the approval of a secret federal court established under the 1978 FISA law for such surveillance.
Bastards.
