The ruling yesterday to forbid the President to continue his warrantless surveillance of international communications involving one party within the US seems likely to find resistance in the appellate court, not so much for its conclusion but for its emotional and mostly weightless reasoning. The Washington Post notes that legal scholars found themselves underwhelmed by the legal justifications of Judge Anna Diggs Taylor, and after reading the decision myself a couple of times, I'm glad to see that my reaction matched theirs:
It screams for an answer, but as far as I can see, I am the only one to raise the question. Judge Anna Diggs Taylor's ruling that the NSA's warrantless wiretaps are unconstitutional is drawing widespread ridicule from the commentariat. I leave it to others to debate the substantive issues. I, as usual, will address the overlooked:
Anna Diggs Taylor? Is that anything like Joanie Loves Chachi?
More to the point, how do I get this called to the attention of the fine folks at Digg?

Is Taylor a boy's name or a girls name. Could be even more interesting.
