“This current iteration of the case, filed against the NSA itself, was thrown out by a lower court twice. The most recent rejection came earlier this year, when a California judge ruled that, in order to prove the case, the EFF would have to rely on classified material that cannot be made public, and therefore couldn’t be used in the case. The EFF, however, says that because the NSA has essentially admitted much of what the case alleges, there’s no need to dip into those classified records. ‘The biggest change is that the government has admitted a lot of things that it was previously saying were secret, and it’s a direct result of the Snowden documents,’ Andrew Crocker, EFF staff attorney, said.”
