Judicial Proceeding
Domestice Surveillance Program
U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit
San Francisco, California (United States)
ID: 200464 - 08/15/2007

(Recorded and Copied from C-SPAN and Uploaded to the Internet Archive)

U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco heard oral arguments in two cases on the government's warrantless wiretapping program. The Court will decide whether or not to dismiss the two cases under the "state secrets" privilege, which bars the presentation of evidence in court that could threaten national security. Lower court judges in both cases rejected the government's attempts to get the cases dismissed.

The plaintiffs in Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation, Inc. v. Bush are an Oregon branch of a Saudi charity that has been investigated for alleged terrorist ties. They argue that they have a top-secret document proving they were a direct target of National Security Agency surveillance.

Hepting v. AT&T is a class action on behalf of a group of AT&T customers who allege that the company intercepted their phone calls and electronic mail, then disclosed the information to the NSA.

  • These USGov attorneys know damned well 9/11 was an inside job, and by their posture then/now, they are TRAITORS.

    Through "states secrets doctrine, these TRAITORS have thus far gotten away with the 9/11 mass murder, war crimes, terrorism, crimes against humanity, etc.

    As soon as these psychopaths are justice served in the 1946 Nuremberg tradition, America will return to a prosperous economy and its greatness under our Constitution.

  • AND THE PRIZE FOR THE MOST ABSURD STATEMENT GOES TO--

    2:20:47 Whatever they know-- or believe they know--or claim to know--the world does not know--its a SECRET! NO ONE KNOWS--IT IS A SECRET-- A STATE SECRET--no one even knows it is a state secret--we do not confirm nor deny it is a state secret--NO ONE IN THE WORLD KNOWS WE HAVE A SECRET--nothing is secret bcz we do not confirm nor deny we have secrets. cuckoo--cuckoo--cuckoo

  • SO---- who made the cut?

    what are the probabilities the justice atty said that was cut?

    i submit he said no one has a claim as no one can make a claim without proof and no one can have proof as any proof is STATE SECRETS.

    YES-- it is ALICE IN WONDERLAND, see 2:04:30, 2:04:42 and 2:13:18-Yikes!

    curious and curiously; reductio absurdum; emperor has not clothes; we dont exist unless they say we do; they are not wrong as they cannot be wrong; god always was, is and will be; past is the future

  • if any of this saddens you, i am sorry to add they chose/decided/were ordered to make a cut at 1:47:22

    1:47:02 "When the NSA is faced with an allegation by someone seeking confirmation or denial whether they were surveiled, the only plausible response is to neither confirm nor deny...***No one knows or at least,---CUT--- or oneway or the other..."

    ipso facto--if they do not answer-- you cannot prove it, as any tangible proof is considered "STATE SECRETS."

    WHAT EVIL COULD IMAGINE....

  • Hmmm...yep they killed Kennedy and MLK.

    If ya don't believe that then your delusional.

  • wow, I made it to 1:28:32, then I realized, the US is just too screwed over already, warrantless wiretapping, guantanamo, wars based on lies, the us 'democracy' has failed.
