"An appeals court on Friday rolled back a federal judge’s controversial ruling against the National Security Agency’s bulk phone-surveillance program.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit reversed the December 2013 ruling by U.S. District Judge Richard Leon, who wrote that the NSA’s “almost Orwellian” bulk metadata collection after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks “almost certainly” violates constitutional privacy protections.
The appeals court didn’t dismiss the case brought by conservative activist and lawyer Larry Klayman who claimed the NSA program was an unlawful search under the Fourth Amendment. Instead it kicked it back to a lower court for further proceedings. As WSJ’s Devlin Barrett reports, the stakes are somewhat lower after Congress two months ago passed a law scaling back the collection and scope of the phone program."

Those that are the master of manipulation, can use fear as a tool to increase control, and influence over all of us.
