Detroit - A federal judge ruled Thursday that the government's warrantless wiretapping program is
unconstitutional and ordered an immediate halt to it.

U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor in Detroit became the first judge to strike down the National
Security Agency's program, which she says violates the rights to free speech and privacy as well as the
separation of powers enshrined in the Constitution.
"Plaintiffs have prevailed, and the public interest is clear, in this matter. It is the upholding of
our Constitution," Taylor wrote in her 43-page opinion.
