Larry Klayman crows on NSA win: ‘We hit the mother lode’
By JOSH GERSTEIN | 12/17/13 8:58 AM EST

Larry Klayman’s long journey in the legal wilderness appears to be over.

Klayman, the conservative legal activist well-known in Washington political circles a decade ago for his no-holds-barred court battles against the Clinton administration, was thrust back into the spotlight Monday after he obtained the first major ruling from a federal judge that the National Security Agency’s surveillance program was constitutionally flawed.

“We hit the mother lode,” an elated Klayman said Monday, indulging in some of the hyperbole he became known for during his 1990s crusades. “It was the biggest decision in the context of the government in my lifetime. This is the most outrageous invasion of constitutional rights I’ve seen in my life.”

In recent years, the once-prominent Klayman has been associated with a series of causes at the fringe of the conservative movement, arguing that President Barack Obama is a closet Muslim and was likely born in Kenya. The legal gadfly has also struggled personally, drawing a public reprimand by the Florida Bar and declaring himself flat broke just three years ago.
