1. Damn it. The story is NOT the fact that the NSA is spying...

Anybody that thought they weren't hasn't been paying attention.

The STORY is that these spying programs have never undergone Constitutional review, because they have been operated in secret.
Until Snowden released the Verizon Document, NO plaintiff had "standing" in federal court to sue the NSA, because they could not prove they had been spied on by the NSA, because the proof was a classified document. The Verizoon Document changes everything.
This blatant and obvious violation of the 4th Amendment will now be reviewed in federal court, possibly up to the SCOTUS, to determine it's constitutionality.

Thank you Edward Snowden.
