A judge has ruled that widespread phone data-gathering by the
NSA may be unconstitutional. Richard J. Leon wrote "I cannot imagine a
more ‘indiscriminate’ and ‘arbitrary invasion’ than this systematic and
high tech collection and retention of personal data on virtually every
single citizen for purposes of querying and analyzing it without prior
judicial approval." Siobhan Gorman, intelligence correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, discusses the ruling and the latest news from the national security world.
