Judge tosses Wikimedia’s anti-NSA lawsuit because Wikipedia isn’t big enough

This same case involved, in addition to Wikimedia, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, PEN American Center (a writers group), Global Fund for Women, The Nation Magazine, The Rutherford Institute, and the Washington Office on Latin America (a social justice group).

With all those groups, with all that's at stake, the decision essentially reads that no matter how much traffic they can't use statistical likelihood to overcome the bar to standing created by Clapper v. Amnesty.

In the end, this means the NSA will never have to face overview as long as they don't tell anyone what they are doing. If we can't in court say they are definitely capturing someones traffic, they can't even use the courts to conduct discovery on what is happening.

I nominate this for 'bullshit headline of the month' award. The legal reporting is good, the headline is asinine nonsense.
