Government drops bomb on EFF
This has been brewing over the last few days: the gov't is trying to block the EFF's civil case against AT&T. See also the Friday article from Wired and of course the full info (with helpful FAQ) on EFF's site. This and net neutrality are a couple of the more important stealth issues of our day. Don't allow them to be forgotten.
The EFF and Amnesty are the two institutions that I support. Charity's a personal choice, I know, but consider them. I've decided to update my front page.
[ Updated 4 May 2006 ] Wired examines the issue further.
The state secrets privilege cannot be found in the U.S. Code, the code of federal regulations or the Constitution. Instead, it is a part of common law, the body of laws and precedents created over centuries of legal decisions.
