ACLU files suit to stop domestic surveillance program NIRAJ WARIKOO / Detroit Free Press | March 10 2006 A civil rights group asked a federal court in Detroit on Thursday to immediately stop the Bush administrations domestic surveillance program. The American Civil Liberties Union filed legal papers before U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor, saying that the program is illegal and unconstitutional, according to a news release from the civil rights group. After the New York Times reported that the National Security Agency was eavesdropping on people inside the United States without court approval, the ACLU field a lawsuit against the agency on behalf of a group of journalists, terrorism experts, and advocacy groups. Some of them are from Michigan, including the Michigan branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. The president does not have a blank check that allows him to ignore basic constitutional rights of Americans, said Kary Moss, executive director of the Michigan branch of the ACLU, in a news release. ---------------------------------------------------
