Government Still Trying To Dismiss NSA Spy Program Lawsuits

[Swede]

The Electronic Frontier Foundation is fighting attempts to dismiss its lawsuit over the National Security Agency's spy program.

U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker agreed this week to hear appeals from the federal government and AT&T. The government filed a request for a stay and is trying to get the case dismissed by using state secret privilege. The privilege, which would prevent a federal judge from determining whether the spy program is legal, exists to protect national security.
