A federal court judge said that he believes, US National Security Agency’s (NSA) practice of routinely collecting the telephone records of millions of Americans likely violates the 4th Amendment and is unconstitutional, even though the FISA court approved it. Judge Leon concludes that “the author of our constitution, James Madison would be aghast” This was the first major court ruling about NSA’ so-called metadata counter terrorism program after Edward Snowden revealed the massive phone record collection in June. President Barack Obama planned to meet bosses of tech giants On Tuesday, including Apple, Facebook, Google and Twitter to discuss US spy agency surveillance.
