On January 31, 2007, the ACLU appeared before the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, for oral arguments in ACLU v. NSA, our challenge to the Bush administration's illegal NSA spying program. The government appeal was in response to the ACLU's August, 2006 victory in U.S. District Court, when Judge Anna Diggs Taylor ruled the NSA program illegal.
Below, ACLU attorneys and clients discuss the case in the days leading up to the January 31 hearing. You can also hear audio of the hearing itself from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
