interesting, no matter where people come down on their view of edward snowden personally, today you have a federal judge, respected one, appointed 2001, involved in many cases saying what others have charged, that the aspects and the expansive nature of this surveillance is not constitutional. that's the likely finding from this judge. i want to read another point from the ruling. the judge writes that the almost or we willian technology that enables the government to store and analyze the phone met adata of every telephone user in the u.s. is unlike anything that could have been conceived in 1979. glenn, as you know, he uses that data because several people defendinging the program have said that earlier cases regarding something called a pen register basically oh earlier protections of a certain kind of surveillance, make all the broad surveillance okay. what did you read into that discussion there, rejecting that precedent? >> just one quick word about this judge leon. i've seen on twitter and
