| District Judge Vaughn Walker refuses to dismiss a suit against AT&T, and by extension the National Security Agency, over secret, warrantless wiretaps allegedly installed on AT&T fiberoptic lines. To federal judge ANNA DIGGS TAYLOR, a Carter era appointee, for preening "there are no hereditary Kings in America," in her 44-page decision to strike down NSA's warrantless wiretaps as unconstitutional, apparently oblivious of the surveillance-driven roll-up of the terrorist plot in the UK to blow up US-bound airliners.
