On Monday the Bush administration appealed its loss in the AT&T/NSA wiretapping case to the 9th Circuit. U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker had ruled on July 20 that EFF's case alleging illegal cooperation with the NSA could proceed. I've placed some of the briefs filed today online here: http://www.politechbot.com/docs/doj.motion.073106.pdf http://www.politechbot.com/docs/eff.nsa.073106.pdf http://www.politechbot.com/docs/att.brief.073106.pdf And a writeup: http://news.com.com/2100-1036_3-6100612.html Also on a personal note, CNET News.com and the California First Amendment Coalition won permission from Walker today to file an amicus brief. For background on that point: http://news.com.com/2100-1030_3-6073213.html http://news.com.com/2100-7348_3-6073480.html -Declan _______________________________________________ Politech mailing list Archived at http://www.politechbot.com/ Moderated by Declan McCullagh (http://www.mccullagh.org/)
