The court case mentioned in the article, Clapper vs. Amnesty, is just as shocking. They aren't arguing whether or not the law is constitutional. Rather, they are considering whether the law can even be challenged when no plaintiff could ever prove with certainty that they have been wiretapped. Hard to understand why this isn't getting more coverage in the media considering it could threaten reporters' privilege.
