Suing Obama’s NSA Gets Super-Sized
Attorney files request for class-action status
WND
Use Facebook? Millions do.
Maybe Google? Just about everyone.
Then there’s Yahoo, YouTube, Skype, AOL, Sprint, AT&T, Apple, Microsoft, PalTalk “and other certain telecommunications and Internet service providers.”
You soon could be a plaintiff in a lawsuit against the National Security Agency, more specifically Barack Obama and his NSA administrators, over the federal government’s spy-on-Americans programs.
Attorney Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch, who earlier filed the lawsuit against the spy programs, now has requested a class action certification.
The request was submitted to Judge Richard J. Leon, who on Dec. 16, 2013, ruled that the NSA and other government defendants had violated the constitutional rights of millions of Americans by collecting and accessing the “metadata” from their telephone calls.
“This new class action suit expands the allegations of constitutional violations to include the NSA’s collection of Internet metadata, social media and its spying on overseas phone calls under its PRISM program,” Klayman explained in his announcement.
The suit also includes the Central Intelligence Agency as a defendant, as well as its director, because of its “similar illegal surveillance” on Americans.
Klayman explained that just recently, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., a former proponent of “this illegal spying,” complained that the CIA had been spying on her and her congressional colleagues.
Former President Jimmy Carter also revealed he no longer uses the phone or Internet but does his confidential communications by mail.
