1:42Now PlayingTo watch the full interview with ACLU's Jameel Jafeer on Democracy Now!, visit The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled a group of human rights organizations and journalists cannot challenge the government's warrantless domestic surveillance program because they can't prove they are targets of it. The American Civil Liberties Union and a coalition of human rights groups and journalists filed the lawsuit in 2008 hours after President Bush signed amendments to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which gave the National Security Agency almost unchecked power to monitor international phone calls and emails of Americans. ACLU Attorney Jameel Jafeer, who argued the case before the Supreme Court, says that whether under President Bush or President Obama, the government's argument in favor of government spying has remained the same.
