Nobody can predict how the Supreme Court would rule in this case (esp. with Stevens, 86 this April, replaced by Pres. Bush), but one thing is reasonably certain: lower courts decisions in favor of the ACLU would not stop the program. Stays of injunctions pending the Government appeal to the Supreme Court would be granted. So we're looking at possibly two years (or longer?) before the Sup Ct rules. By then, maybe the Dems will be ready to take over Jan. 2009. What do you think they'll do -- shut down intelligence gathering, illegal or not? Surely you jest.
