US Supreme Court
Members have indicated at Thursday night that finally they have to decide on security
agency NSA’s surveillance plans. The indications comes from two justice Antinin
Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, they was attending a public event at the National
Press Club in Washington and answering the questions from journalists about
whether court will take any decisions against US intelligence surveillance which are
disclosed by Ed Snowden. The justices did not talked about any specific
programs because there is hundreds of lawsuit still waiting for hearing which are
confronting the administration well known bulk collection of phone recordings.
TechCrunch says “the
two judges “agreed that freedom of speech is the most important of the freedoms
enumerated in the Bill of Rights.” This is topical given the recent awarding of
the Pulitzer Prize to the Guardian and the Washington Post for their reporting
on the NSA’s mass surveillance activities. Justice Ginsburg went on to praise
the media, and even excuse it of possible sin: “I think the press has
played a tremendously important role as watchdog over what the government is
doing. That keeps the government from getting too far out of line. Yes,
there are excesses in the press, but we have to put up with that.”
Recently, US
government released a new commandment which is US Government Will DiscloseInternet Exploits, but wouldn’t be able to put all the controversies to rest. A
Federal judge says that the program did not pleased the law but another judge
says in that month is not so both the cases are waiting for hearing. Scalia
says that he did not think that they would be a perfect phenomenon for judging
on security Matters because of its lack of experience.
