Victory for Civil Liberties (for now)

The Judge in the NSA spying trial Hepting v. AT&T Inc., 06-0672 dismissed the Bush administration claim that to proceed with the case would be a detriment to national security.

The Judge determined that since so much about the NSA spying is in the public domain, the state secret claim doesn't hold water.

It will be interesting to see how the Bush camp spins this. Watch for a legislative spectacle or some other bid to end the trial.
