Up the Judicial Branch

Woman-with-Tin-Can-Phone-Du.gifThat eavesdropping case we've been following took another step to eventually seeing the light of as an appeals court has decided to review the decision by U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker that the lawsuit should move forward despite the whining of the Federal Government. The eavesdropping case, for those who don't remember, was brought by the Electronic Frontier Foundation against the Government and AT&T for reading things they shouldn't be reading. Of what, we don't know but its super serious and of utmost importance to the War on Terror. And porn. We're sure somewhere they're checking out porn.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is where the hearing will be held to determine if Walker was right in deciding what he decided. Another hearing is to be scheduled this month before Vaughn Walker to determine how the variety of lawsuits filed against the government related to the AT&T case should move forward.

Hey, you know, maybe all of this isn't necessary anymore. What we mean is that now Nancy is now Madame Speaker Nancy, the Democrats could just investigate the whole thing now anyways. We can dream can't we? Wouldn't that be awesome?

High five.

Oh crap, we just made another Borat reference. Sorry.
