It begins…
A federal district court judge in LA just ruled parts of the PATRIOT Act unconstitutional. Thanks to the “I’m not sure what this here word means” nature of wire coverage of legal decisions, I don’t know much more than that right now. It seems to say that a portion of the Act targeting individuals who provide “expert advice and assistance” to suspected terrorists was overbroad in view of the 1st and 5th Amendments. I’ll try to find the decision in a minute here.
Significant? Not really, not at the moment. But wait til the 9th Circuit gets their handses on it. This ought to be fun.
