72 Congressmen join ACLU suit against NSA

The ACLU is filing a suit in Federal Court against NSA for the spying program:

The ACLU is suing the National Security Agency for violating the U.S. Constitution. The illegal NSA spying program authorized by President Bush just after September 11, 2001, allows the NSA to intercept vast quantities of the international telephone and Internet communications of innocent Americans without court approval.

Talk Left reports that 72 Congressmen have joined the suit with an Amicus Brief. This is not a very good day for the Bushies, is it?

I'm sorry to say that only one congressman from my state signed, and it's not my congressman. I think I'm going to send him a note to get off his ass. You may want to do the same if your congressman is not on the list.
