EFF hopes Al Haramain won't affect Jewel. It raises "many causes of action." They embrace more than what 50 USC, Section 1810 covers. It's US law explaining actual and punitive monetary damages.
Jewel wants warrantless surveillance stopped. It wants millions of innocent Americans protected. It wants proper warrants and judicial oversight. It wants rule of law principles upheld.
EFF moved for a lower court Jewel ruling. It wants its case to go forward. It wants Washington held accountable. It wants lawless NSA spying stopped.
It said "FISA preempts the state secret privilege." District court hearings will begin this fall. Whether High Court ones follow won't be known for some time. How they rule most often remains deeply troubling.
