A federal judge ruled Thursday that the government's warrantless
wiretapping program is unconstitutional and ordered an immediate halt
to it.

U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor in Detroit became the first judge
to strike down the National Security Agency's program, which she says
violates the rights to free speech and privacy.

“Plaintiffs have prevailed, and the public interest is clear, in this
matter. It is the upholding of our Constitution,” Taylor wrote in her
43-page opinion.
