Orin Kerr comments on the Second Circuit decision in a FISA lawsuit, mentioned earlier this week on this blog.
On Monday, the Second Circuit handed down a very important decision on standing to challenge secret surveillance programs in Amnesty International USA v. Clapper.

I suspect Supreme Court review is a serious possibility.
