Supreme Court Hears Fourth Amendment Challenge to FISA Surveillance Expansion
The Supreme Court hears oral arguments in a case challenging the constitutionality of expanded FISA surveillance authorities under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Petitioners argue that bulk collection of communications data violates Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches. The case tests whether Americans' digital communications can be swept up without individual warrants under national security exceptions.
