ACLU Of Illinois Sue AT&T

The lawsuits are going to be coming fast and furious the more we find out about AT&T's complicity in the NSA spying program.

(Chicago Tribune)Several prominent local residents, including author Studs Terkel, agreed to serve as plaintiffs in the lawsuit, which targets controversial domestic surveillance practices. The ACLU seeks no money damages, only a court order to block AT&T from providing phone records to the National Security Agency without a judge's approval.

"When government uses the telephone companies to create massive databases of all our phone calls, it has gone too far," Terkel said in a prepared statement provided by the ACLU.
