JUDGE ALLOWS NSA WIRETAPS FOR ANOTHER WEEK
[SOURCE: Reuters]
U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor, who ordered a halt to the Bush administration's program of domestic wiretapping, on Thursday allowed the surveillance to continue for a week to allow an appeals court to weigh in on an issue expected to end up with the U.S. Supreme Court. Judge Taylor in Detroit denied the Justice Department's request for a lengthy stay pending an appeal of her August ruling that the National Security Agency's five-year-old surveillance program violates the civil rights of Americans. Instead, Judge Taylor gave the government a seven-day window to get a stay from a federal appeals court before that court hears arguments on the legality of the wiretap program.
