WASHINGTON – The U.S. Supreme Court yesterday ended a nearly five-year effort by a coalition of lawyers, human rights workers, media organizations and others to challenge the constitutionality of the nation’s major federal surveillance law.
In a 5-4 decision in Clapper v. Amnesty International USA, 11-1025, the justices ruled that the coalition, represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, did not have standing to bring the lawsuit.
