Warrantless Wiretapping Ruling

From the AP:
A federal judge ruled Thursday that the government's warrantless wiretapping program is unconstitutional and ordered an immediate halt to it.

U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor in Detroit became the first judge to strike down the National Security Agency's program, which she says violates the rights to free speech and privacy.
Cue the right-wing noise machine against activist judges who have the unmitigated temerity to actually hold the government accountable for their actions.

When will these unelected jurists, accountable to no one but the law, learn that the president is never wrong?
