Birther lawyer gets injunction against Obama

Sort of

Attorney Larry Klayman, notable here for his legal attempts to prevent Barack Obama’s re-election, is also suing the President (and others) over what he feels is the unconstitutional invasion of his privacy by the National Security Agency’s program of massive collection of information about telephone calls and other electronic communications. A similarly directed lawsuit was filed by the ACLU.

Klayman’s lawsuit is styled Klayman v. Obama where is there the “Obama” part of the article’s comes from.

The ruling by Judge Richard Leon in the District of Columbia is rather narrow, granting an injunction against two defendants from collecting information about Klayman and one other plaintiff. Then the judge stayed his own order pending appeal.

Klayman didn’t fare so well before Judge Leon in the Farah v. Esquire Magazine defamation lawsuit, which was dismissed.
