Since the cretin in chief has violated the laws setting up the FISA court, committed crimes against those surveilled, and violated your privacy and free speech rights given in the constitution, betcha thought he'd have to at least say 'sorry'?

Wrong.

A federal appeals court on Friday ordered the dismissal of a lawsuit challenging President Bush's domestic spying program, saying the plaintiffs had no standing to sue.

The 2-1 ruling by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel was not on the legality of the surveillance program. But it vacated an order by a lower court in Detroit last Augist that the post-911 warrantless surveillance aimed at uncovering terrorist activity was unconstitutional, violating rights to privacy and free speech and the separation of powers.

Being reversed means that this case goes back to the judge who decided that the criminals have committed crimes, and he is ordered to make a new finding. I know what my next finding would be, but then I also know it would not be good for any future career. That U.S. District Judge in Michigan who writes this one up may become my hero, or may preserve his standing with the criminals by meek acquiescence.

My finding would begin with "Sadly, I must find that the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is in violation of its constitutional authority...". Okay, I don't have a law degree, that may not work. But I'd try it.
