A federal judge Thursday ordered the Justice Department to respond within 20 days to requests by a civil liberties group for documents about President Bush’s domestic eavesdropping program.

The ruling was a victory for the Electronic Privacy Information Center, which sued the department under the Freedom of Information Act in seeking the release of the documents.
U.S. District Judge Henry Kennedy ruled that the department must finish processing the group’s requests and produce or identify all records within 20 days.

“Given the great public and media attention that the government’s warrantless surveillance program has garnered and the recent hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee, the public interest is particularly well served by the timely release of the requested documents,” he said.

5. Over at freeperville, they are daring the admin to defy this judge

Good Lord, they don't even understand the Constitution and balance of powers! They say things like, well, here are some of their comments:

"Unconstitutional Order!

Agreed.

This judge should be prosecuted for sedition, IMO.

I think they should just skip all the charades and start blowing up buildings themselves instead of waiting for the terrorists to do it.

Really, why don't the dems start killing Americans and save themselves some time.

HERE...is the reason that it has been so important for Bush to get as many SCOTUS justices confirmed as possible under his watch...

I have a feeling that these kind of "decisions" will be all too prevalent coming from some of Clinton's judges..

Does this judge have his own army?

For once I agree with Joe Stalin... "Judge, how many divisions do you have?"

So, the lunatics at free republic are calling for ignoring a judge's order, or fighting it with the army. These people are not Americans, they are fringe, right wing lunatics, citing STalin to support the Cult of Bush.
