In the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks, Bush and his government were given unequivocal free reign to launch the “war on terror”. In so doing they proposed a number of constitutional reforms which subsequently were passed without much retaliation.

In 2005, Bush passed a spy program allowing the surveillance of all American’s electronic communication without warrants or congressional authorization. Almost five years later, a lawsuit brought on by two American lawyers representing a now defunct Saudi charity has brought this issue to the feet of U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker.

Now that this case is garnering national attention, it may become the first step in preventing future U.S. Presidents from adopting other ‘Terror Surveillance Programs’. One more small step in reacquiring our constitutional rights as Americans.
