2 Members of SCOTUS 'Targeted By US Spies' -Shock Claim: Intel Agencies 'Harvested' Personal Data

WND

U.S. intelligence agencies have “harvested” the personal and private data of “hundreds of federal officials and judges, including Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg,” charges a legal brief filed by Larry Klayman, the attorney who has come to be known as “the NSA slayer” for his successful legal battles against the National Security Agency.

Klayman, founder of FreedomWatch, successfully sued the National Security Agency in 2013 over the collection of telephone metadata from Verizon customers that was detailed in documents released by intelligence-document leaker Edward Snowden. In December 2013, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled the NSA program likely is unconstitutional and ordered the government to stop collecting data on the two plaintiffs. He stayed his injunction pending appeal, however, “in light of the significant national security interests at stake in this case and the novelty of the constitutional issues.”

Wednesday, Klayman filed a reply in support of motion to lift that stay, arguing that in the 16 months since it was imposed, “the federal government has continued its unconstitutional practices and violated the rights of hundreds of millions of Americans.”

He continued: “The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (‘D.C. Circuit’) has not acted fast enough to protect the rights of all these Americans and unconstitutional actions by the U.S. Government are still continuing without redress. Plaintiffs in this case sought and received a preliminary injunction, which by design is intended to put an immediate stop to any unconstitutional activity. However, this injunction proves ineffective as long as this injunction is stayed pending appeal. The longer the D.C. Circuit delays in issuing its opinion, the longer Plaintiffs’ and all Americans’ constitutional rights are being violated.”

What really goes on with the federal government? Read Andrew Napolitano’s warning that “It is Dangerous to be Right when the Government is Wrong.”

As he did a month ago, Klayman asked the court to question a witness in secret.

The witness, Dennis Montgomery, can testify “about the unconstitutional and illegal surveillance conducted by the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency that is highly relevant and of crucial important … as he worked closely with these agencies following the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001,” said Klayman.

Montgomery’s poor health adds to the urgency that his testimony be taken now, Klayman has said

In Wednesday’s filing, Klayman revealed Montgomery would provide evidence intelligence agencies have even spied on and collected private and personal information on Supreme Court Justices John Roberts and Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
