NSA phone hacking deemed Illegal

A second appeals court today at 10:30 ET AM deemed the program that the NSA started to track phone calls and hack into phone lines as illegal. The statement came from the appeals court this morning which stated that the phone hacking was illegal and that it violated the American citizen's Patriot Act. The appeals court now passes the investigation to a smaller court. The Patriot Act of 2001, initiated by President George W. Bush, is an acronym. (USA PATRIOT) " "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001". Even though this act is to catch terrorists, it is not allowed to just impede on the American's privacy.
