And of course on top of that, the judge's decision is stayed pending appeal. Not everyone on this list may remember back to the Doe v. Ashcroft / Doe v. Mukasey / Doe v. Gonzalez / Doe v. Holder case that I was the plaintiff in but we got a similar decision in New York's southern district from Judge Marrero two times - in 2004 and 2007 - that the NSL provision is unconstitutional, and violates the 1st, 4th and 5th amendments to the constitution. Until you can get the decision upheld by the Supreme court, and the government continues to appeal, it doesn't "stick", so to speak. I'd be happy to talk about it, provided I can get completely out of the gag order, which I have not given up on. More news as it becomes available. best, Nick -- Nicholas Merrill Executive Director The Calyx Institute 287 Spring Street New York, NY 10013 Voice: 212-966-1900 x801 Mobile: 917-770-2491 -- Too many emails?
