“The U.S. Supreme Court has denied the Electronic Privacy Information Center’s petition for it to review a National Security Agency (NSA) phone record data collection program.  EPIC asked the Supreme Court to vacate an order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) that requires the Verizon telephone company to turn over all phone records on all of its customers to the NSA.  The group petitioned the Supreme Court directly, skipping lower courts, arguing that only the Supreme Court had the proper jurisdiction to review a FISC order.  On Monday, however, the Supreme Court declined to review the order without explaining why. It simply stated that EPIC’s request was denied.”
