James Gilligan 6 with the Department of Justice for the Government Defendants. 7 With me at counsel table are Marcia Berman, Bryan Dearinger, 8 Rodney Patton, Tony Coppalino and also joining us today is 9 Elizabeth Shapiro. 10 THE COURT: 11 MR. GILLIGAN: 12 MR. MOSS: 13 16 17 I thought he would introduce himself. Good morning, your Honor, Randolph Moss on behalf of the Verizon Defendants. 14 15 Don't forget Mr. Moss. THE COURT: Welcome. All right. Very good. Mr. Klayman. MR. KLAYMAN: Thank you, your Honor. If I may address some preliminary matters with the Court. 18 THE COURT: Sure. 19 MR. KLAYMAN: I would like to approach the bench with a 20 binder that we prepared about relevant documents that we 21 referred to in our briefs and also with two requests that we 22 made to the NSA through the Justice Department to authenticate 23 those documents for purposes of any use that your Honor may 24 decide to employ them for in this case. 25 It is our understanding from Mr. Gilligan, we got an 5 1 e-mail that they would not produce anyone to authenticate the 2 documents, nor would they deny or admit the authenticity of the 3 documents. 4 Section 21 of this binder which I would like to provide to your 5 Honor with it. 6 7 So we do have THE COURT: It is at You can hold off on providing anything right now. 8 MR. KLAYMAN: 9 THE COURT: 10 a tutor request pending. Okay. Let's see where this goes. MR. KLAYMAN: The second matter is that we filed a 11 Motion To Amend the Complaint, both of the different complaints. 12 Within the original complaint, it was either implicit or 13 otherwise that we were going under the APA by virtue of the 14 nature are the of the relief we were requesting, but we thought 15 we should make it clearer. 16 Motion For Leave To Amend the Complaints to add the APA remedy. 17 So yesterday evening we filed a In addition, it sets forth the relief that we requested 18 in the Preliminary Injunction Motions. 19 that on the Court's PACER system, but I have do have a hard copy 20 if you would like to have it. 21 THE COURT: That's fine. Your Honor should have Obviously the Government 22 hasn't had a chance to respond yet so we will and see what the 23 Government's response is. 24 25 MR. KLAYMAN: Yes. In addition, yesterday as we were preparing, we learned of additional information that bears on 6 1 our clients who are sitting at counsel table with us. 2 THE COURT: Welcome. 3 MR. KLAYMAN: 4 THE COURT: 5 MR. KLAYMAN: Charles and May Ann Strange. Welcome. Which bears on the Government intruding 6 into their private communications with regard to computers and 7 we filed a Motion For Leave to file this affidavit. 8 affidavit of David M. 9 inspected that computer. 10 Syler. It is the He is the computer expert who We ask for leave to file that. I have a copy of that if your Honor would like a copy of that. 11 THE COURT: Any objection? Come on up, Mr. Gilligan. 12 MR. GILLIGAN: Regarding the Amended Complaints, your 13 Honor, we would like to reserve judgment on those since we just 14 received them last night, and we do object to the attempts to 15 introduce new evidence that was only provided to us last night 16 the evening before the argument in this matter. 17 THE COURT: Why don't we do this. You can have until 18 the end of the week to file any objection you have to it and 19 then I will take it under advisement. 20 MR. GILLIGAN: 21 MR. KLAYMAN: Very well, your Honor. Thank you. I think that does it for the preliminary 22 matters your Honor. Thank you. 23 THE COURT: All right. 24 MR. KLAYMAN: Okay. 25 MR. KLAYMAN: I will get my binder. You don't have to leave. Now we will do the 7 1 argument. 2 THE COURT: 3 MR. KLAYMAN: 4 You can stay. Okay. Does your Honor have any time limitation? 5 THE COURT: Yes. What I was thinking, as you will see 6 in a minute, my focus is going to be essentially today two part; 7 and I think a half an hour each side. 8 split yours with a rebuttal, 9 But the Government can have a half hour total and you can have a 10 half hour total, but you can split it 20/10, however you want to 11 split it. 12 I give you chance to because you are the moving party. It is your choice. But my focus today is really two part. First is the 13 authority of this Court to handle this case by what authority 14 and, secondly, what if any standing has been demonstrated on the 15 part of the Plaintiffs to, if this Court has authority, to hear 16 this case, what standing if any has been demonstrated by the 17 Plaintiffs that would enable this Court to go forward in 18 evaluating this case? So that's kind of where my focus is. 19 The problem, frankly, Mr. Klayman, is on the first 20 issue, the briefs are very thin on both sides. Judge Pauly 21 apparently in New York specifically asked for briefing on this 22 issue and based on what my clerks could find, there wasn't a 23 whole heck of a lot that was filed; and, to me, this is the 24 overarching question: 25 III Court involve itself in evaluating decisions of a separate By what authority can this Court, Article 8 1 Article III Court set by Congress with the very specific 2 statutory framework that does not in any way, shape or form 3 provide for jurisdiction in this Court? 4 By what authority can this Court do that? Statutory or 5 constitutional and if you have got some analogies, that would be 6 helpful because frankly I have been searching for it. 7 MR. KLAYMAN: 8 THE COURT: Please. 9 MR. KLAYMAN: 10 question. Let me get right to it, your Honor. Because we thought you would ask that You raised that at the status conference. 11 THE COURT: 12 MR. KLAYMAN: 13 Good. provide that to you? We prepared a bench brief on that. A very short brief bench brief but -- 14 THE COURT: 15 MR. GILLIGAN: 16 May I Make sure Mr. Gilligan gets that. Reserving my right to object, your Honor. 17 THE COURT: All right. That's fine. 18 MR. KLAYMAN: 19 THE COURT: 20 21 Okay. And a copy for your Clerk? I can't listen and read at the same time so I will give them a copy. MR. KLAYMAN: How is that? You go ahead. Let me just emphasize that there are two 22 lawsuits here. One was a lawsuit filed with regard to Verizon 23 where you have Judge Vincent's order which is at issue and that 24 was the order of April 25, 2013. 25 Honor knows, it is incredibly overly broad. And in that order, as your It allows for the 9 1 collection of any telephone records, metadata, et cetera on 2 every Verizon customer of which I am one and of which all of our 3 Plaintiffs are one as well. 4 5 THE COURT: The Government is prepared to concede that apparently based on their briefs. 6 MR. KLAYMAN: 7 THE COURT: 8 All right. They make a distinction between different Verizon accounts. 9 MR. KLAYMAN: We are users and, of course, as users and 10 subscribers, we are subject to having our telephone calls routed 11 through Verizon. 12 subscription with Verizon, but that is the case -- So we are affected with or without any kind of 13 THE COURT: Okay. 14 MR. KLAYMAN: -- here and that's not in dispute and 15 Verizon is here and they can confirm in fact that we are 16 subscribers if they would like to. 17 Interestingly enough, that order was renewed later, 18 okay, by Judge McLaughlin and that -- from our reading of that 19 order, it is virtually the same order. 20 broad. 21 in there because it hasn't been released, but let us presume it 22 is the same order. 23 There is some redactions. Okay. It is overly We don't exactly what she has That order will go out of effect on January 3, 2014. 24 So there will be no order. So whatever I argue today as of 25 January 3, 2014, there will be no Court Order unless it is 10 1 renewed; and your Honor could step in immediately at that time. 2 However, you can step in now and here is why. 3 Number one, what happened at the FISA Court was all 4 ex parte. 5 participate in that proceeding. 6 Information was provided to the Judge, Judge Vincent. 7 a long history as we set forward in the briefs and as we 8 documented in various Court Orders of the NSA lying to the FISA 9 Court and lying to the U.S. Government about what's going on 10 11 We as Plaintiffs did not have the opportunity to It was done ex parte. There was with regard to their metadata program. In addition, there was an audit done just in 2012 which 12 showed that were 2,712 approximately violations of Section 215 13 and Section 702 of the Privacy Act. 14 2,712. On top of that the Inspector General found 12 15 instances where individuals at the NSA accessed actual 16 conversations and other types of information to spy on their 17 boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands and wives 18 were cheating on them at the time. 19 thinking that they Now, if that can go on with the lower level employees, 20 just think what the potential is with regard to upper level 21 employees and big interests that are challenging this 22 administration. 23 we are a big interest or not. 24 adversarial towards the administration, 25 whose son was an NSA cryptologist assigned to Navy Seal Team I will let your Honor be the judge of whether But, you know, we are quite and so is Mr. Strange 11 1 Six. 2 raid where the mission was termed Extortion 17. 3 retaliation by the Taliban because Seal Team Six had taken out 4 Osama bin Ladin. 5 He went down tragically in a cash on August 6, 2011, in a It was He has lawsuits which I filed on his behalf. We are in front of Congress in a Congressional inquiry 6 and one of the issues there is is the administration and did the 7 military, are they culpable for the deaths of these individuals 8 either through negligence or otherwise? 9 So I am kind of answering the question combining it. 10 There you have the standing and we have set forth in detail 11 affidavits our standing. 12 THE COURT: 13 MR. KLAYMAN: 14 THE COURT: 15 MR. KLAYMAN: 16 THE COURT: I will get to that. Let's look at the question directly. Let's look at the first one. Directly. Right. Is there any doubt in your mind, any that 17 when Congress devised the scheme it devised creating the FISA 18 Court and providing within it for review by the review Court and 19 then possible review by the U.S. Supreme Court that Congress 20 intended in any way, shape or form for other Article III Courts 21 to have a jurisdictional basis to review the decisions of those 22 FISA orders? Is there any doubt in your mind about that? 23 MR. KLAYMAN: 24 authority to review that order. 25 THE COURT: I have no doubt that you have the Hold on. If the answer to my question is 12 1 you have no doubt, I will see what Mr. Gilligan says. 2 MR. KLAYMAN: 3 THE COURT: And I have more to add. I know. No. I will see what Mr. Gilligan 4 says, but assuming, and he can correct me if I am assuming 5 incorrectly, that the Government's position will be no other 6 Article III Court has any authority to second guess those 7 decisions and to review those decisions of the FISA Court. 8 assuming that's going to be his position. 9 otherwise. 10 I am He might tell me If I go to the next step and start evaluating the 11 jurisdictional question with regard to the Preliminary 12 Injunction you are seeking, I can't do it without first deciding 13 that I have the authority. 14 Klayman. 15 unfortunately in a situation where Congress has made it pretty 16 clear that they don't think I have that authority. 17 I have to decide that first, Mr. I have to make that decision and I have to make it MR. KLAYMAN: Well, what's key about Congress' acts 18 whether Section 215 or 702 or the entire panoply of the Patriot 19 Act is that it does not exclude Article III Courts from 20 reviewing issues with regard to individual litigants. 21 that had to be intended because we don't live in a totalitarian 22 state where the Government and the Courts don't give due process 23 rights to the American people. 24 25 Obviously How is it that I would have no rights or Mr. Strange and his wife would have no rights and the other two Defendants 13 1 Michael Ferrari and Matt Garrison would have no rights. So, 2 consequently, Congress not writing out any other review by an 3 Article III Court which says that you can reach issues of 4 constitutionality, that's right in the Constitution in Article 5 III; and it is also in 1331, 18 USC 1331: 6 have the authority to rule upon constitutional matters. The District Courts 7 We are challenging not just a violation -- 8 THE COURT: 9 MR. KLAYMAN: 10 11 THE COURT: It is that simple. Is it really that simple? So, for example, let me give a hypothetical. 12 13 Is it really that simple? MR. KLAYMAN: Combined with other things I am going to add. 14 THE COURT: Let me give you a hypothetical, Mr. 15 Klayman. 16 Court Judge were to issue a subpoena that called for the 17 production of records, a person of whose records would claim 18 that it would violate their constitutional rights for those to 19 be produced by the record holder. 20 Claims Court Judge were to permit the production of those 21 records in the face of a claim of a violation of their 22 constitutional rights, do you think I could review that 23 decision? Would I have the jurisdictional authority the review 24 that decision? 25 If a Court, let's say a Tax Court Judge or a Claims MR. KLAYMAN: If in a Tax Court Judge or Here is the distinction. It was the fix 14 1 I am making initially. 2 records subpoenaed by the IRS has the right to intervene in that 3 proceeding of the Tax Court and oppose that subpoena. 4 THE COURT: If an individual who is having their Not the IRS. If there is a Motion To Quash 5 the subpoena in the litigation, the litigation in the Tax Court 6 or the Claims Court, if there was a Motion To Quash the subpoena 7 by the person whose records they were, not the person who was 8 holding the 9 the Article III Court, this Court, U.S. District Court in D.C., records, the person whose records they were, could 10 would we have jurisdiction to either issue such an order or to 11 review a denial of such a request that was made in the Tax Court 12 or the Claims Court? 13 14 MR. KLAYMAN: Well, your Honor, I don't think that analogy in all due respect applies here. 15 THE COURT: Why not? 16 MR. KLAYMAN: It doesn't apply because, as I was 17 saying, the individual whose records are being obtained has a 18 right to intervene in the Tax Court action. 19 Mr. Strange and his wife have no right to intervene before the 20 FISA Court, plus it is secret. 21 on. 22 I have no right, No one even knows it is going It is a Star Chamber proceeding. If you look at the statistics that are out there, the 23 FISA Court, no lack of respect, rubber stamps what the 24 Government wants. 25 .03 percent of the time. They have only ever turned down any request 15 1 THE COURT: So if you are right and the Government is 2 wrong, again I am assuming the Government is going to take the 3 opposite position, we will find out in a few minutes -- 4 MR. KLAYMAN: 5 THE COURT: 6 MR. KLAYMAN: 7 8 9 10 11 Well, I know they will. If that's -I have been litigating with Mr. Gilligan for 20 some years. THE COURT: If that's the Government's position, in effect you are asking me to find that the statutory framework that was designed for FISC review is unconstitutional. MR. KLAYMAN: You are not overruling what FISC did. In 12 this case, in the confines of this case, you can rule 13 independently as to whether or not obtaining those records, 14 which are ongoing by the way -- these aren't past records. 15 is going on today. 16 metadata records with regard to Verizon, and we are just talking 17 about Verizon now, are in fact being acquired by the NSA and 18 they have total ability to get into to them to determine who I 19 associate with and who I deal with. 20 THE COURT: This As of today, records of myself and others, They are being produced pursuant to an 21 order by a Federal Court, an Article III Judge who has found 22 that doing so is consistent with the statute and constitutional. 23 What you are in essence asking me to do is to at a minimum 24 review, but you want me to more than review, you want me to 25 overrule it effectively, superimpose this Court's authority into 16 1 the work of the FISA Court. 2 do. 3 MR. KLAYMAN: That's what you are asking me to That's only with regard to lawsuit number 4 one, but you can make a ruling here with regard to myself and 5 the other Plaintiffs that pertain to what's going on with regard 6 to us at a minimum. 7 This is -- we did not have -- Judge Vincent's order is not 8 entitled to collateral estoppel or res judicata effect. 9 no ability to participate in that. 10 It is You can reach the constitutional issues. We had in no force and effect with regard to us, the 11 Plaintiffs. 12 philosophical, as Jefferson said, our third President: 13 people fear the Government, there is tyranny. 14 frightened to death. 15 and center. 16 agree on these things. 17 And in this day and age, not to get too When the The people are This is an issue that unites left, right ACLU, liberal. Freedom Watch, conservative. We You, your Honor, are the last step, the last bastion of 18 protection for the American people and, if a Judge does 19 something with regard to the original order which impacts us, we 20 have a right to exercise our due process rights by 21 the only Court that we can be in, and that's this Court. 22 going into And Congress did not say we can't be in this Court. In 23 fact, Congress explicitly in the Constitution at Section 1331 24 says you can reach the constitutional issues; and what we are in 25 effectively going to ask to you do in a Preliminary Injunction 17 1 is simply hold the Government to the letter of the law. 2 follow the law. 3 Just That doesn't contravene Judge Vincent's order if you 4 enter a Preliminary Injunction following Section 215 of the 5 Privacy Act and Section 702, start obeying the law. 6 presume anything with regard to Vincent, but in fact allows us 7 to exercise our rights. 8 9 It doesn't Now, with regard to case number two, there is no Vincent order there. They are doing what they want. This is 10 like the Wild West but worse. 11 of this country this kind of violation of the privacy rights of 12 the American citizens. 13 time everyone picks up the phone, they believe they are being 14 listened to. Every time someone calls their boyfriend or 15 girlfriend or your girlfriend goes to the doctor or you go to 16 the doctor, all these associational facts can be picked up 17 through the metadata. 18 here, and the Government has the audacity to come back and say 19 we can't do anything to correct that within six months when an 20 expert says you can do it like that. 21 We have never seen in the history We live in an Orwellian state. Every You saw the expert Ed Felton's affidavits The Government has a history of lying here, and it has 22 been confirmed by judges that sit on both courts, this Court and 23 the FISA Court. 24 So, your Honor, you do have that authority and all you 25 are, basically if you enjoin the Government and we respectfully 18 1 request that you do, is to enjoin them to follow the law. 2 doesn't contravene any Court Order. 3 THE COURT: That Well, let's take Judge Vincent and Judge 4 McLaughlin, they have issued orders that they believe are 5 lawful, consistent with the Constitution and consistent with the 6 statutory framework that Congress enacted 215. 7 Court were to issue an order to prohibit any further collection, 8 the Court would effectively be countermanding their order. 9 MR. KLAYMAN: 10 THE COURT: Now, if this You know -- How can they look at it in any other way? 11 The order is prospective in nature. It is for 90 days. 12 lasts for 90 days and, of course, in that 90-day period right 13 now at least for the most recent order. 14 separate Article III Judges on the FISA Court have issued these 15 orders every 90 days for the last seven years roughly, 6, 16 7 years. 17 It only And I think it is 15 So the point is that under the framework that was 18 designed by Congress, Article III Judges have been consistently 19 finding for a lengthy period of time every 90 days that the 20 order being sought by the FBI with regard to the NSA's capacity 21 is consistent with 215 and consistent with the Constitution. 22 MR. KLAYMAN: Your Honor, no disrespect to Judges of 23 which I founded a group called Judicial Watch to honor judges 24 and I gave awards to judges who did a good job and criticized 25 those who did not, but the reality is King George had judges too 19 1 back in 1776 and those judges were ruling against the 2 colonialists caused them to rise up and wage a revolution. 3 You are the safety valve to that happening. The 4 potential for this is so extreme, no outrageous, so totalitarian 5 that if there is no other way to have this reviewed, the 6 American people will rise up because they are upset at what's 7 going on; and that's why you -- and we thank you for giving us 8 an opportunity to be heard and to do this timely, we appreciate 9 that, but you cannot be in any way enslaved by the decisions of 10 other judges in a Court where we had no right to make an 11 argument, we have no right to make an appeal, it is done in 12 secret, secret, Star Chamber and then on top of that -- 13 14 15 16 THE COURT: Is it your position that that framework is unconstitutional? MR. KLAYMAN: Yes, but I am not asking you to reach it at the Preliminary Injunction stage. 17 THE COURT: 18 MR. KLAYMAN: It is my position. Well -Not with regard, not with regard if 19 there is some kind of nexus between an investigation -- there is 20 no investigation here of any of the hundreds of millions of 21 Americans or tens of millions of Americans that use Verizon, 22 certainly not with regard to the 300 million that are affected 23 by the Prizm program. 24 25 There is no investigation. There is no showing of a reasonable suspicion of any connection to terrorism or crime. It is not -- it is open 20 1 ended. 2 satisfy the Fourth Amendment. 3 collection of records now and into the future and there is no 4 predicate facts here that people have done anything wrong, that 5 I have done anything wrong or Mr. Strange or the other 6 Plaintiffs. 7 It is not definite as to time which you have to have to You just can't have an open ended So Congress not having closed the door, if they had 8 intended to cut off all of our rights, which they can't do, they 9 would have said so in the legislation. They did not. And the 10 fact that it is not in there does not preclude an alternative 11 avenue for relief, and you are the person that the American 12 people are depending on to protect us. 13 And that's why the only alternative is for the people 14 to take matters into their own hands. 15 Courts. 16 I am an idealist. 17 and tyranny, but I actually believe in the system. 18 because -- that's why I do what I do. 19 That's why I became a lawyer. That's why I respect the That's why I am here and Yes, I fight against Government corruption That's So a Judge like you or a Judge like Royce Lamberth on 20 this Court, okay, who made many decisions which were against the 21 flow, he went upstream, who protects the American people, 22 sometimes even against members of his own original political 23 party like Gale Norton. 24 25 You guys are our only protection. We have no other protection, and that's why it is so important because the 21 1 American people need to know that you are here for us. 2 THE COURT: Well, if the statutory framework does not 3 permit other courts to get involved in reviewing and evaluating 4 or even posing itself in these orders, then it would seem to me 5 the only way the Court could actually get to that is to rule it 6 as unconstitutional. 7 Do you see any other alternative? MR. KLAYMAN: We are not challenging the Patriot Act if 8 it is applied properly at this stage. 9 has to be relevant. 10 What we are saying is it The people that are being surveyed, there has to be an actual investigation -- 11 THE COURT: Well, the relevance -- 12 MR. KLAYMAN: 13 THE COURT: -- based on predicate facts. -- relevance decisions are decisions under 14 the framework made by an Article III Judge. 15 the statutory framework that permits other Article III Courts to 16 second guess that decision. 17 findings. 18 MR. KLAYMAN: There is nothing in These judges all made relevant That decision -- those decisions if they 19 apply to the way the statute is written, the Patriot Act, and if 20 it is some nexus between the individual who is having their 21 information gathered and reviewed by the Government and 22 terrorism or committing a crime, okay; but when other people are 23 being subjected to this as we now know is the case by the 24 admissions, forced admissions of the NSA after the director of 25 NSA lied to Congress. Frankly, he should -- 22 1 THE COURT: Let me ask you this. What is your basis to 2 believe that the NSA has done any queries relating to either you 3 or your client? 4 MR. KLAYMAN: Well, in our affidavits we submitted, 5 that gets to the standing issue. My colleagues have received 6 text messages that I never sent. I think they are messing with 7 me. 8 destroy you if we want to. 9 10 They are saying, Mr. Klayman, we have the ability to THE COURT: Text messages from whom? MR. KLAYMAN: From me. From me to colleagues. Mr. 11 Strange the affidavit set forth that he got text messages also 12 that were inexplicable. 13 Michael that were sent to him, and this latest affidavit shows 14 that a disk that was given to him that supposedly had a report 15 dealing with the circumstances of Extortion 17's being shot 16 down, that that was infected with spyware which now allows the 17 Government to go into his computer. 18 He got e-mails from his dead son It is not inconceivable, your Honor, it is not part of 19 the record. As Mr. Gilligan knows, I objected during the years 20 that we were fighting the Clinton's at Judicial Watch. 21 people following me home. 22 the office and read -- bounce stuff off of my windows for 23 wiretaps and things like that. 24 and, unfortunately, we have to then turn to someone like 25 yourself who has integrity who can step in and who has the My staff. I had I had somebody come into This goes on in the Government 23 1 2 courage to protect the American people. And that's why I am not one of those conservatives that 3 thinks the judicial branch is a lesser branch of the other two. 4 I think it is more important because you are the last guard, you 5 are the last sentry to the tyranny in this country and, if you 6 can't step in, then the alternatives are far worse. 7 And right now we live in what is in effect a police 8 state because you can't pick the phone up without fear that it 9 is going to be used against you. They can access your 10 accountant. 11 Ed Snowden said when he gave his interview, he could access your 12 e-mail records. 13 They can access your lawyer. They can access you. They could access your proctologist. So we can't live in a country like that, and you have 14 to be able to make a ruling at least with regard to us, and what 15 we are saying here for purposes of the Preliminary Injunction we 16 will make it simple for you. 17 laws that exist. 18 constitutional issues. 19 does not provide that you can get all domestic calls, e-mails, 20 social media, youtube, Skype, it doesn't provide for that, only 21 if there is some connection to a foreign person and only if 22 there is an issue of terrorism. 23 Just enjoin them to follow the You can deliberate further on the Follow the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act Admittedly by their own admissions which are suspect 24 even what they wrote because they have been caught lying so many 25 times by courts documented -- frankly I don't know why Clapper 24 1 isn't in prison by this time -- if I did it, I certainly would 2 be there if I lied to Congress like that -- and that's the 3 impression that you have to dispel, your Honor, is that there is 4 a noble class in the United States that's above the law and the 5 rest of the citizens they can burn in heck. 6 And that's why Congress did not exclude your review for 7 particular citizens that were affected illegally. 8 be countermanding Vincent's order. You would simply be entering 9 it yourself. 10 THE COURT: You would not So would it be your position, Mr. Klayman, 11 that in the absence of specific preclusion of Article III Courts 12 from reviewing and second guessing the decisions of the FISC 13 Judges, this Court does have authority under the Constitution to 14 review it? 15 MR. KLAYMAN: You have authority under the 16 Constitution, yes, your Honor, you do 17 and Fifth Amendments as we laid out in our briefs. 18 First Amendment, associational. 19 the Supreme Court stepped in and said you just can't get the 20 address books of the NAACP. 21 First Amendment rights of association with our clients and 22 privileges, attorney-client privilege, work product privilege, 23 they are being breached. 24 25 under the First, Fourth Under the There is the NAACP case where You can't do that. And with the The Fifth Amendment you have a right of self-incrimination. The Government gets into our records and 25 1 listens to our telephone calls, there goes the right of 2 self-incrimination in any criminal proceeding. 3 Fourth Amendment, no unreasonable searches and seizures 4 are 5 Supreme Court Katz case. 6 with cell phones and smart phones and that kind of thing where 7 the Government can get everything they want about you. 8 9 permitted, not just to property but to person as in the And it is even more relevant today So right now we live in a country where people genuinely believe -- it has only been diverted in the last few 10 weeks because of obamacare -- that they believe they are in a 11 constant state of surveillance. 12 But the one other point I want to emphasize we are only 13 dealing with Verizon in case one. 14 Sprint, AT&T, Google, youtube, Yahoo, there was no order. 15 Vincent issued no order, no Court issued an order. 16 got that one free and clear and that's the main stay. 17 have to contravene anyone's order in regard to case number two. 18 All the other providers -- So you have You don't With regard to who I am and who my clients are, Charlie 19 and Mary Ann Strange and the others, you have authority to make 20 a ruling with regard to us; and that doesn't contravene anything 21 that Vincent did. 22 are asking. 23 same thing to Judge Pauley. 24 us. 25 It is just with regard to us. That's what we If you look at the ACLU's briefs, they are same the We want a decision with regard to Whether that's considered precedent in other areas, you 26 1 have a great opportunity to help Judge Vincent and Judge 2 McLaughlin understand what the law is. 3 THE COURT: I view it more as a challenge. 4 MR. KLAYMAN: Yes, apparently they don't understand it 5 too well, at least Judge Vincent. 6 McLaughlin because we can't see her entire order. 7 different. 8 to make a ruling with regard to us. 9 10 11 12 13 14 Maybe. THE COURT: We don't about Judge It may be But the point is that you have the ability Now, you have used 25 minutes. Do you want to save five? MR. KLAYMAN: I will save five, your Honor. Thank you for your time. THE COURT: All right. Mr. Gilligan, am I assuming correctly or not? 15 MR. GILLIGAN: The answer that you have been waiting 16 for, your Honor, is yes and no. 17 THE COURT: Oh, you want it both ways. 18 MR. GILLIGAN: 19 THE COURT: The Department of Justice seems to like it 20 21 both ways. What lawyer doesn't, your Honor. Let's see how you are going to parse this one out. MR. GILLIGAN: I think very simply, your Honor, and we 22 attempted to parse it this way in our briefs and, if we weren't 23 clear, I hope to clear the matter up now. 24 25 To the extent that the Plaintiffs are challenging the statutory authority of the Government to engage in the 27 1 intelligence gathering programs at issue here, the statutory 2 authority, our position is that the Court lacks jurisdiction 3 because the various provisions of the FISA at issue preclude 4 review by third parties such as the Plaintiffs here in District 5 Court. 6 We have not taken the same position with respect to the 7 constitutional claims. 8 reach the constitutional claims because of the standing issue, 9 but so far as preclusion goes, our position on preclusion is 10 that that is limited to the claims that the Government lacks 11 statutory authority to engage in these various intelligence 12 gathering activities. 13 We think the Court lacks authority to The reason for the distinction, if that's the question 14 I see crossing your mind, your Honor, is Supreme Court's 15 decision in 16 many times in such cases as Block versus Community Nutrition 17 Institute that a statute can implicitly preclude other types of 18 review; but when it comes to precluding review of constitutional 19 claims, the Court explained in Webster versus Doe that it 20 insists on a clearer expression on the part of Congress to 21 preclude review. 22 Webster versus Doe. THE COURT: The Supreme Court has held So in the absence of a specific preclusion 23 of this Court and similar Article III Courts to deal with 24 challenges of -- to violations of constitutional rights, because 25 the Patriot Act didn't specifically preclude that this Court, 28 1 you believe has that authority? 2 MR. GILLIGAN: 3 Yes, on behalf of a Plaintiff who has demonstrated his or her standing. 4 THE COURT: 5 MR. GILLIGAN: 6 THE COURT: All right. So starting with the preclusion issue -- 7 Standing. 8 9 10 11 12 Where in the Constitution would that power come from? MR. GILLIGAN: THE COURT: The power to review the -- For those who have proper standing. Just Article III? MR. GILLIGAN: The Court said in Webster versus Doe, 13 your Honor, that it would raise troublesome constitutional 14 issues if Congress were to presume to preclude review of 15 constitutional claims brought by parties with standing within 16 the Federal jurisdiction of a District Court so we have not 17 pressed that issue in this case. 18 But with respect to the arguments that the Government 19 lacks statutory authority, we believe the Plaintiffs' claims are 20 precluded by not just one, but two statutes. 21 Section 215 itself which your Honor alluded to earlier and, as 22 your Honor said, it sets forth a detailed scheme for judicial 23 review of FISA production orders that allows challenges by 24 recipients of those orders that must be brought under seal and 25 heard under seal in the FISC. First there is 29 1 There is no provision made in Section 215 for 2 challenges by third parties such as the Plaintiffs here in 3 District Court, and we believe that reflects, as your Honor 4 said, a Congressional intent that they should not be permitted 5 to do so. 6 THE COURT: So when an Article III FISC Judge makes a 7 decision that a request by the FBI is consistent with the 8 authority given under 215, that decision by a FISC Court Article 9 III Judge, if I understand your position correctly, is not 10 11 12 13 reviewable by this Court? MR. GILLIGAN: That's our position. That is correct, your Honor. THE COURT: Not reviewable by any other Article III 14 Court, only those that are in statutory framework, the review 15 Court I think it is called shorthand name for it and then the 16 Supreme Court ultimately? 17 MR. GILLIGAN: Correct, your Honor. As the Supreme 18 Court said in Block versus Community Nutrition Institute, 19 preclusion occurs when a statute provides a mechanism 20 judicial consideration of particular issues at the behest of 21 particular persons but not others; and we believe that Section 22 215 fits that description quite precisely. 23 The same is also true -- 24 THE COURT: 25 assessments? And that includes also relevance for 30 1 MR. GILLIGAN: 2 THE COURT: Absolutely. So if a FISC Judge is making a relevance 3 assessment as it relates to the request that's being made, 4 which, of course, Judge Vincent made, Judge McLaughlin made, 5 others, Judge Eagan, et cetera, again that's a decision 6 exclusively within the purview of the review Court, not other 7 Article III Courts? 8 9 MR. GILLIGAN: Correct, your Honor. same is true with respect to Section 702. And we believe the Mr. Klayman alluded 10 to the second lawsuit, and he suggested that there are no FISC 11 orders at issue there. 12 That's not exactly right, your Honor. Under Section 702 which involves the targeting of 13 communications of non U.S. persons located overseas, that's the 14 Prizm Program, the FISC must approve certifications provided by 15 the Attorney General that identify the categories of individuals 16 from whom foreign intelligence will be sought. 17 approve the certifications that FISC must approve, the 18 Government's targeting and minimization procedures. 19 FISC must So that involves FISC approval as well and so that 20 statute also provides for review of directives from the Attorney 21 General to provide information that are issued to 22 telecommunications providers by those providers in the FISC but 23 does not provide for any sort of review by any other parties in 24 District Court. 25 applies there as well. So we believe that the preclusion argument 31 1 The second statute that we would draw your Honor's 2 attention to on the preclusion issue is 18 USC Section 2712, the 3 provision that was discussed at length in the Jewel decision, 4 the decision from the Northern District of California which is 5 cited in our briefs. 6 Section 2712 creates cause of action against the 7 Government, your Honor, for monetary damages for violations of 8 three specific provisions of the FISA that restrict the use and 9 disclosure of intelligence information that's acquired under 10 authority of the FISA. 11 basis of an action under 2712 do not include Section 215 and 12 Section 2712 does not provide for injunctive relief. 13 Those three provisions that may form the And so as held by the District Court in Jewel, Section 14 2712 also reflects an intent by Congress not to allow claims 15 such as this one alleging use and improper -- I should say use 16 and abuse of information obtained under FISA because that 17 statute specifies a particular remedy, monetary damages, non 18 injunctive relief; and it specifies the three provisions upon 19 which an action can be based. 20 They do not include Section 215. So on these two bases we believe that the Court lacks 21 jurisdiction 22 Section 1331 that is not a provision of jurisdiction. 23 under the APA or any other statute including THE COURT: So what about an argument, Mr. Gilligan, 24 where the Plaintiffs contend that the decision by a FISC Judge 25 on relevance or a decision by a FISC Judge interpreting 32 1 authority under 215 has as a consequence a constitutional 2 violation to one or more individuals? 3 If that's their argument, if their argument is this 4 FISC Judge, his erroneous ruling, his erroneous interpretation 5 of 215, his erroneous ruling on relevance has had as a 6 consequence a violation of the constitutional rights of my 7 client, under that circumstance, is it your position that a 8 Court like mine can inject itself in that and assess and 9 evaluate whether or not a Constitutional violation has occurred 10 as a result of that erroneous ruling? 11 MR. GILLIGAN: Your Honor, as long as the Plaintiffs 12 could in that hypothetical, it is not the case here, meet the 13 requirements of Article III standing, we believe that -- or at 14 least we have not contested in this case that the Court would 15 have jurisdiction to review the constitutional claims. 16 constitutional claims in this case have no likely success on the 17 merits. Now, the 18 Smith forecloses the Fourth Amendment claim. 19 Amendment claim is foreclosed by the principle as expressed by 20 the D.C. Circuit and Reporters Committee that a good faith 21 investigation conducted in observance of Fourth Amendment 22 requirements without any intent to punish or deter First 23 Amendment protected freedoms, gives rise to no First Amendment 24 violation. 25 The First But I think before obviously you can get to the merits, 33 1 there is the standing issue in this case. 2 the fact that the Plaintiffs have offered no proof whatsoever 3 that any communications records of theirs, any information 4 contained in any of their communications has been collected by 5 the Government under any of the programs at issue here. 6 And it does turn on The Prizm Program, again, that involves the targeting 7 of communications of non U.S. persons located outside the United 8 States. 9 that communications of theirs could have been picked up under 10 The Plaintiffs have adduced no facts to demonstrate that program. 11 The -- 12 THE COURT: Then let's focus on the first case. They 13 are contending as Verizon customers that that data has been 14 harvested as has the data of all Verizon customers, and it is 15 sitting in storage somewhere in the Government up at Fort Meade 16 and it may or may not have been used yet, but it is in the 17 possession of the Government and the Government is in a position 18 at a later time if the authority is provided by the FISA Court 19 to query it and to determine, you know, whether or not it 20 provides any relevant information of an investigation of a 21 national security nature, right? 22 MR. GILLIGAN: 23 several flaws in their position. 24 THE COURT: 25 MR. GILLIGAN: That's their position, right? That is their position. There is What are the flaws? The flaws are that -- to say that they 34 1 are customers of Verizon is sort of glossing over an important 2 distinction. 3 disclosed but later officially acknowledged by the Government 4 was directed to Verizon Business Network Services, Inc. 5 The order of Judge Vincent's that was unofficially The Plaintiffs in this case claim to be customers of 6 Verizon Wireless. As reflected in this Court's decision in the 7 Shea case, also cited in our briefs, these are two separate 8 business entities. 9 disclosed order by Judge Vincent, Verizon Business Network We have acknowledged that at the time of the 10 Services was a participant in the Section 215 telephony metadata 11 program. 12 But the Government has not acknowledged the identities 13 of any carriers who have before or since been participants in 14 the program. 15 Wireless Communications is a participating carrier in the 16 program. 17 speculation on their part that their records have been collected 18 as part of that program. There is no evidence, in other words, that Verizon Plaintiffs have not adduced any so it is only 19 Even if it were -- 20 THE COURT: How could that be determined? I mean if the 21 Government holds all the cards, so to speak, there is no way 22 they could -- if your theory of how they -- what they must do, I 23 should say, to demonstrate standing is what I believe it is and 24 the Government holds all the cards, they could never essentially 25 unless the Government were to reveal the program as it has 35 1 acknowledged with the Judge Vincent's order for Verizon Business 2 Services Network, Inc., they could never have standing, could 3 they? 4 MR. GILLIGAN: 5 THE COURT: 6 MR. GILLIGAN: Well, your Honor -- Established standing. That point was raised by the Plaintiffs 7 in the Amnesty International case cited in our papers. It is 8 very relevant to this case. 9 their standing could be cleared up if the Government would They said that the question of 10 simply advise the Courts whether or not any of the Plaintiffs 11 communications in that case -- that was a challenge to 12 collection under Section 702 -- 13 THE COURT: Right. 14 MR. GILLIGAN: -- had been acquired under the authority 15 of Section 702, and the Court responded, the Supreme Court 16 responded in footnote four of that opinion that it is the 17 Plaintiff's burden to come forth with proof of specific facts 18 establishing their injuries, establishing their standing; and it 19 is not the Government's burden to disprove their standing by 20 revealing the details of its classified intelligence gathering 21 programs. That principal holds true here. 22 THE COURT: Okay. 23 MR. GILLIGAN: Your Honor, I would just add a couple 24 further points. The Plaintiffs seemed to have changed here in 25 their reply brief the nature of the relief they are seeking from 36 1 the Court. 2 the law injunction which does to the meet the specificity 3 requirements of Rule 65(d)(1)(c) and we would submit that that 4 is an improper form of relief for the Court to issue under any 5 circumstances. 6 They are now seeking what seems to be a classic obey THE COURT: From the Government's point of view, could 7 the Court resolve the Preliminary Injunction Motion simply on 8 the grounds of finding that there is no jurisdiction? 9 Court, of course, finds that it has the authority to act, Once the 10 assuming that for the sake of discussion, an adequate basis for 11 jurisdiction, therefore, doesn't have to parse out the imminence 12 of harm, likely success on the merits? 13 14 15 MR. GILLIGAN: I am sorry, your Honor. I am not sure I am following the thrust of your question. THE COURT: Is it your position that this Court could 16 resolve this Preliminary Injunction request simply on the basis 17 of no standing? 18 MR. GILLIGAN: Yes. If the Court found there was no 19 standing, absolutely. That would dispose of -- the Court would 20 have no jurisdiction even to assess the likelihood of success on 21 the claims on the merits and certainly a finding on standing 22 would mean that a fortiori there could be no showing of 23 irreparable harm because even if the Plaintiffs could somehow 24 have gotten over the line of showing standing, they have 25 certainly not shown the kind of imminent, concrete injury that's 37 1 necessary for an immediate award of equitable relief by the 2 Court. 3 THE COURT: All right. Now, what's the Government's 4 position on the Plaintiffs' constitutional rights or interest in 5 the documentation that's being held by Verizon? 6 7 MR. GILLIGAN: held -- 8 9 10 THE COURT: held by Verizon. Yes, the metadata information that is being What constitutional interests do they have in that data? 11 12 In the documentation that's being MR. GILLIGAN: Without a showing that any of their metadata have been collected, none, your Honor. 13 THE COURT: All right. 14 MR. GILLIGAN: If the premise -- is the premise of your 15 question hypothetically that we have collected metadata of their 16 communications? 17 THE COURT: Yes. 18 MR. GILLIGAN: Smith versus Maryland holds quite 19 clearly that there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in 20 such data. 21 telephone number making a call, the telephone number receiving a 22 call, the date and time of a call, information which even prior 23 to Smith, the D.C. Circuit had held in Reporters Committee was 24 of a kind not protected by the Fourth Amendment call detail 25 records. It is non content information regarding the 38 1 2 Courts before and since Smith have consistently held that there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in such 3 THE COURT: 4 MR. GILLIGAN: 5 THE COURT: 6 MR. GILLIGAN: 7 THE COURT: 8 That was '79, right? So it was, your Honor. Things have changed a little since '79. So they have. And in terms of computer technology, things have changed an awful lot since '79. 9 MR. GILLIGAN: 10 11 -- THE COURT: So they have, your Honor. Take a look at that recent GPS opinion the Court issued. 12 MR. GILLIGAN: 13 THE COURT: Right. The Supreme Court in that case certainly 14 signalled a grave concern about protecting privacy interests of 15 individuals even though suspected of committing crimes and those 16 who the Government had reason to believe had committed crimes or 17 were in the process of committing crimes; and the technology 18 that was being used in that case I think it would be fair to say 19 pales in comparison, pales in comparison to the technology that 20 NSA has at its disposal to query hundreds of millions of 21 records, maybe a billion records in matters of minutes or an 22 hour. 23 So the concerns that the Supreme Court echoed recently 24 is a far cry from Smith V Maryland. What you can do now with 25 computers to go through that data and construct a profile of an 39 1 individual's life, his whereabouts, his spending habits, his, 2 you know, appointments that he has, whatever is so extraordinary 3 that Smith's value may be very limited if at all in this case. 4 5 MR. GILLIGAN: Well, your Honor, I would like to make several points about that if I could. 6 THE COURT: Sure. 7 MR. GILLIGAN: Smith, of course, remains the law and it 8 is controlling here. There were some questions raised in the 9 concurrences, not the majority opinion, but in the concurrences 10 in Smith and particularly in Justice Sotomayor's concurrence 11 about whether the views expressed in cases such as Smith -- 12 13 14 15 THE COURT: You don't mean in Smith. You meant in Jones? MR. GILLIGAN: I am sorry. Smith versus Jones. Justice Sotomayor's concurrence in Jones. 16 THE COURT: Jones. 17 MR. GILLIGAN: Thank you, your Honor. Queried whether 18 the so-called third party doctrine remains appropriate in the 19 digital age. 20 that once information is disclosed to a third party, you no 21 longer have a reasonable expectation of privacy in it. 22 doctrine is the underpinning of Smith and also such cases as 23 U.S. versus Miller which is cited in Smith. 24 25 That doctrine being under the Fourth Amendment That But Smith remains controlling here and notably the dissenters in Smith made the very sort of argument that seemed 40 1 to be crossing the minds of the concurring Justices in Jones. 2 The dissenters pointed out that even in 1979 if you had 3 a list of numbers that a person had called from his or her home, 4 that could be very revealing of the identities of the persons 5 called, the places called; and that could expose very intimate 6 details about that person's life. 7 in 1979. 8 9 10 That argument was made even Nevertheless, the majority held that there was no reasonable expectation of privacy in those non content data. And I think it is worth noting here, your Honor, that 11 even if we assumed strictly for purposes of argument that the 12 Plaintiffs did have a reasonable expectation of privacy in 13 information that could be gleaned from metadata about their 14 communications, under the telephony metadata program, NSA 15 analysts cannot access or review any records that may be in that 16 database save those that are responsive to queries made under 17 the reasonable articulable suspicion standard. 18 The database can only be queried using identifiers 19 which is typically to say telephone numbers that are associated 20 with foreign terrorist organizations. 21 database and retrieve records that are responsive to queries 22 based on reasonable articulable suspicion that the number you 23 are using to base your query on is associated with a foreign 24 terrorist organization. 25 You can only query the As set forth in our papers, including our declarations 41 1 as a result of that limitation, which is imposed by the FISC's 2 orders, only a tiny fraction of the records in that database 3 have ever been viewed by human eyes; and there is no evidence in 4 this case, none, even if you assume that the Plaintiffs' records 5 were in there, that any of the records have actually been 6 reviewed subject to a query of that kind. 7 8 THE COURT: So the records that the NSA has in its possession are just numbers, right? 9 MR. GILLIGAN: 10 THE COURT: Yes. And in order for the NSA to get behind 11 those numbers, so to speak, to see the names associated with 12 them, the account and that, they would have to get a separate 13 order? 14 MR. GILLIGAN: It is actually one step even beyond 15 that, your Honor. The database doesn't even have names in it. 16 It is just the metadata numbers called, numbers calling, time 17 and date of the call, trunk lines, what are called -- 18 THE COURT: Duration of call. 19 MR. GILLIGAN: Things like that. No names of any 20 subscribers, no names of any parties to recall, just numbers. 21 Even to get access to the numbers, you don't need a FISC order 22 to get access, but there has to be a determination by a 23 designated official under the terms of the FISC orders that you 24 have reasonable articulable suspicion that the number you want 25 to use as a search term is associated with foreign terrorist 42 1 organizations. 2 Only if that standard is met can you, so to speak, plug 3 that number into the system and see what records, you know, what 4 records there are of contact with that identifier. 5 And -- 6 THE COURT: At that point if that were to happen, you 7 still, the Government still does not have the names associated 8 with those numbers? 9 MR. GILLIGAN: That's absolutely correct. Further 10 inquiry would need to be made under whatever lawful authorities 11 are available to the NSA or perhaps the FBI or another member of 12 the intelligence community to find out, you know, who those 13 numbers might belong to and to get further investigative leads. 14 15 16 THE COURT: So you need a third order from a FISC Judge? MR. GILLIGAN: You would not need another order under 17 the program. Once, once -- once the Court issues the order 18 allowing the collection, then the Government under the terms of 19 the order is allowed to make queries under the reasonable 20 articulable standard, suspicion standard without getting further 21 authority from the FISC. 22 system of oversight to ensure compliance. 23 THE COURT: 24 MR. GILLIGAN: 25 That said, there is a very intricate Oversight by whom? Oversight by -- well, first of all, there are technological and administrative safeguards. 43 1 THE COURT: 2 MR. GILLIGAN: 3 THE COURT: 4 manpower to oversee anything. 5 You mean NSA. But not only at NSA. FISC doesn't have the capacity or the MR. GILLIGAN: the Government But under the terms of the FISC's 6 orders, must report to the FISC periodically 7 regarding its use of the -- I shorten it and call it the RAS 8 A S standard -- and all compliance incidents must be reported to 9 the FISC. R There is oversight by the NSA's Inspector General. 10 There is oversight conducted with the Department of Justice and 11 I believe the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to 12 ensure that all the safeguards in the FISC's orders are being 13 complied with; and if there is any failure to comply, that has 14 been reported to the FISC. 15 That is the origin in fact of the orders cited in Mr. 16 Klayman's briefs. 17 problems, 18 seriously. 19 The Government discovered those compliance reported them to the FISC. THE COURT: The FISC took them very What, that girlfriend issue where the NSA 20 employee is using his -- misusing I should say -- his authority 21 to check up on his girlfriend? 22 23 MR. GILLIGAN: Well, those were a different sort of compliance issue and I hasten to point out 24 THE COURT: 25 MR. GILLIGAN: -- That's an issue. I hasten to point out that there were a 44 1 total of 12 such issues over a period spanning a decade and in 2 each case it was determined by the IG as reported in a letter to 3 Senator Grassley that those were unauthorized incidents, mostly 4 involving the information of non U.S. persons and the 5 individuals who committed these infractions were either 6 disciplined or they retired or resigned before being 7 disciplined. 8 THE COURT: I hope so. 9 MR. GILLIGAN: So I think what we have there is 10 evidence of an oversight system that works. 11 Honor's original point, no, there is no further FISC order 12 needed to query the database once the data are collected, but 13 there is an interlocking array of oversight mechanisms to ensure 14 compliance. 15 THE COURT: query. Coming back to your How about to get -- let's assume they do 16 the How about if they want to go to the next step and 17 get the names associated with the phone numbers -- 18 MR. GILLIGAN: 19 THE COURT: 20 21 Well, just -- -- do they need an order to get that from Verizon? MR. GILLIGAN: Well, the FBI, for example, if the NSA 22 provided the number to the FBI saying, here, you might find this 23 number to be of interest to such and such investigation, the FBI 24 can issue a national security letter, for example, to Verizon or 25 whoever the carrier might be and say provide us subscriber 45 1 information behind this number. 2 The Government as a result of other investigative and 3 intelligence efforts may already know who a particular number 4 belongs to once it comes back as responsive to a query in the 5 database. 6 THE COURT: It is possible. 7 MR. GILLIGAN: 8 THE COURT: 9 MR. GILLIGAN: It is possible. What if they don't? Do they need an order? Well, they have other legal procedures 10 that they can follow in order to do that. 11 information is given to the FBI, the FBI could issue a national 12 security letter to the carrier asking for information about the 13 subscriber to that number. 14 line. 15 THE COURT: 16 MR. GILLIGAN: As I say, if the But -- so to come back to the bottom You have about two minutes left. I have got about two minutes left. Then 17 I will say again, your Honor, that we believe that based on the 18 showing 19 insufficient demonstration of injuries certainly to show the 20 kind of irreparable harm required for injunctive relief here, 21 and we also submit an insufficient showing especially under the 22 rigorous application of Article III's requirements that Amnesty 23 International says must be applied to a case like this, 24 insufficient evidence to establish their standing. 25 events, the Court lacks jurisdiction to reach the statutory that the Plaintiffs have made today, there is certainly In all 46 1 claims that the Plaintiffs have presented. 2 Honor. 3 THE COURT: 4 MR. KLAYMAN: Thank you, your Thank you, Mr. Gilligan. Yes. Mr. Klayman. Briefly, your Honor, with regard to 5 what's at issue, the Government has been forced to admit despite 6 a pattern of lying that it is collecting the metadata of 300 7 plus million Americans. 8 9 That's a fact. It is not in dispute. Number two, Judge Bates -- and we have cited his order in our briefs -- has ruled that the monitoring system doesn't 10 work. 11 with obamacare right now. 12 In fact, it is even worse than what's going on Number three, we have a situation here where if we are 13 to accept what they say is true and the Government now has a 14 history of lying, as your Honor pointed out at the status 15 conference, we have got to go to discovery so let's go to 16 discovery and find out what's going on here. 17 Number four, my clients have in affidavits, in original 18 affidavits, supplemental affidavits set forth a real injury 19 here. They have had their text messages, myself included messed 20 with. They have had their computers tampered with susceptible 21 to removing information. 22 the line of fire. 23 group, but I am 24 I have sued the NSA. 25 cryptologist and extremely critical of the They are in the line of fire. I am in Not only am I the head of a public interest a fierce advocate against this administrative. Mr. Strange his son was an NSA NSA and the military 47 1 for what happened to his son and has gone very public. 2 lawsuit for him in that regard. 3 product, other privileges are at stake. 4 I have a Attorney-client privilege, work With regard to Smith, your Honor has it right. Not 5 only is it outmoded, but it severely limited to one little 6 narrow part of data and the order was finite in time, it was 7 only two days, and also it was limited to a criminal 8 investigation. 9 criminal investigation at this time. 10 300 million Americans are not subject to Who knows in the future with the way things are going? 11 But the reality is that the IG himself, the NSA's own 12 IG, in that report and we gave you documents are in the record, 13 the report finds 2,700 violations of these statutes since 2012 14 is there, plus 12 violations that we know of people getting into 15 the private affairs of their boyfriends and girlfriends and 16 husbands and wives. 17 anything else. 18 Just think what the potential is for Your Honor, with regard -- and this was overlooked. 19 one wants to talk about Mr. Snowden here for obvious reasons, 20 but I have a bench brief. 21 Honor. No 22 23 I would like to provide it to your Give a copy to Mr. Gilligan. MR. GILLIGAN: Reserving again my right to object, your Honor. 24 MR. KLAYMAN: Of course. 25 THE COURT: You can reserve it. 48 1 MR. KLAYMAN: Thank you. Mr. Snowden made admissions 2 against interest. 3 against interest, he subjected himself to criminal prosecution. 4 He is now a fugitive from justice, has to live in Russia for 5 fear that he might be killed in this country. 6 By making these admissions, these statements And these allegations set forth -- they are not 7 allegations, they are admissions -- that NSA did have access and 8 does have access on an ongoing basis to the metadata of 300 9 million Americans such that if the NSA wants to coerce and 10 11 intimidate you, even you, a Federal Judge, they can get into it. Consequently, Snowden's statements come into evidence. 12 The binder has documents where admissions by the Government, 13 they are public documents now, they don't even have the 14 integrity to come forward and authenticate those documents. 15 Heads I win. 16 people are nothing. 17 what we want and we have all the cards and heck with you, you 18 take a hike. 19 Tails you lose. We are the Government. You don't matter to us at all. Like Louis XIV "after me the flood." You the We will do You know what 20 that gave rise to. That kind of attitude why 90 percent of the 21 people don't trust the Government, don't trust anybody. 22 continues without your intervening, where are we as a nation? 23 And it was Ronald Reagan that said 200 and some years after 24 Thomas Jefferson "that if we lose our freedoms, we can lose them 25 in a generation and we have to preserve them for our kids." If this The 49 1 potential for tyranny here which does exist is even greater into 2 the future. 3 And there is not one American that can pick up his 4 phone or send an e-mail message or go on Facebook, youtube or 5 Skype and now not think he is being surveyed, but here we have 6 standing because we set forth concrete information in affidavits 7 of exactly what's going on. 8 it, let them take our depositions. 9 take theirs. 10 If the Government wants to refute We will be very happy to I was a Justice Department lawyer. I had a security 11 clearance. 12 sure and let them sit down and answer questions under oath. 13 them this time answer them truthfully, not lie like they have 14 been continuously lying for the last year. 15 getting emotional because when I listen to this as an American, 16 I am not just embarrassed. I am horrified. 17 Government if this kind of conduct is allowed to continue. 18 I can easily get another security clearance I am Let That's why I am This is not my So we look to you, your Honor, to look into this, to 19 make the ruling and we can, yes, given the number of violations 20 that have occurred, given the information that we put forward, 21 you can issue a Preliminary Injunction which says you are to 22 obey the strictures of the law with regard to these Plaintiffs. 23 You can set a monitoring mechanism into effect where they have 24 to report to you with reports, sworn declarations that there is 25 monitoring that's going on inside the agency; but, your Honor, 50 1 you are the person that ultimately will be in charge for a 2 finite number of persons, just four Plaintiffs here, to see 3 whether indeed there is compliance. 4 We should have the opportunity to test those reports 5 through whatever discovery you may fashion -- depositions, 6 document requests, whatever. 7 without a bond. 8 obey the law and if we are at the point where you can't enjoin 9 the Government, in this case NSA, from obeying the law, then you 10 might as well white out Section 65 with regard to the Government 11 and we are completely defenseless. 12 We should also be able to proceed There is no injury here to the Government to So, your Honor, we are appreciative of your time but we 13 look to you to protect not just Plaintiffs but the American 14 people against the NSA which has frankly been out of control and 15 is creating a situation where the American people feel that 16 their Government is against them and can destroy them and will 17 keep them submissive such that they can't even complain about 18 their grievances and, in that respect, we are in worse shape 19 than we were in 1775. Thank you, your Honor. 20 THE COURT: All right. 21 MR. KLAYMAN: Thank you, Mr. Klayman. Let me add one point in that regard. As 22 we said in the briefs, if the NSA had been in existence and 23 available to King George, the Founding Fathers would have never 24 made it to Philadelphia for the Declaration of Independence. 25 They would have been picked up, arrested and executed. Thank 51 1 you. 2 THE COURT: Well, I always thought when they signed 3 that Declaration of Independence, they were signing their own 4 death warrant there, Mr. Klayman. 5 they were. 6 It was pretty well known that My experience has been, counsel, that in cases of this 7 kind of this novelty and nuance and importance that it is always 8 best to give counsel a week to submit any supplemental briefing 9 they wish. 10 They don't have to, but they are welcome to do it. My experience was and has been as an advocate and as a 11 Judge that it is invariable that this afternoon or tonight you 12 would say I wish I had said X or Y or Z, and in the heat of the 13 moment I didn't. 14 want to. 15 giving you a chance to supplement the briefing which you have 16 already submitted which is, to say the least, extensive. 17 I So I will give you all until next week if you am not doing rounds of briefing here. I am just I am particularly, of course, concerned about and 18 interested in the authority of this Court to interject itself. 19 Mr. Gilligan has made his points. 20 that issue and, if on reflection you want to supplement those or 21 you want to put it in more detail, that's up to you. 22 telling you have to. 23 if you wish to. 24 25 You have made your points on I am not I am just telling you you are welcome to On the issue of standing, you have made your points and he has made his. If you want to put a little more on that or 52 1 articulate it in a little different way, you are welcome to do 2 that. 3 think those are critical to the resolution of this request for a 4 PI. 5 My principal focus at the moment are those two issues. I I think the rest of the briefing on the other issues is 6 pretty much intact in terms of what I need, but on the issue of 7 this Court's authority or lack thereof to inject itself in this 8 situation and on the issue of standing, I think those are the 9 two issues that the Court after having read all the briefs has 10 continued to struggle with to ensure that I get it right. 11 mean I am not kidding myself. 12 here no matter how I rule. 13 It doesn't matter how I rule, it is going to the Court of 14 Appeals and it probably will go to the Supreme Court after that, 15 at least certainly one side or the other. 16 however I rule. 17 I I know what's going to happen It is going to the Court of Appeals. It doesn't matter This is, at the moment anyway, this is the first 18 hearing of this kind and depending upon how fast Judge Pauley is 19 and how fast I am, this may be the first ruling, but it is going 20 to be one of the first two rulings. 21 going to come out and, frankly, I am not sure how I am going to 22 come out, but I will tell you one thing. 23 know it is going upstairs. 24 25 I don't know how he is However I come out, I So I will give you my best shot at it and I will try to do it expeditiously, but you can have until let's say next 53 1 Tuesday, COB. That's a little more than a week. 2 you to have to worry about this over Thanksgiving. 3 wouldn't be fair. 4 MR. KLAYMAN: 5 THE COURT: 6 MR. KLAYMAN: 7 THE COURT: I don't want That Can I say one thing, your Honor? No more arguments. Okay. I think I have given you plenty of argument 8 time and I appreciate both sides argument. They are very 9 helpful to me, but I think at this point, I have heard what I 10 need to hear today. 11 Again, no rounds. 12 supplement, you can supplement but that's it. No replies to the 13 supplements and you have got until the closing business of next 14 Tuesday to get it in if you want to do it. 15 Get whatever else you want to get in. I am not doing rounds. If you want to And try to keep it, counsel, under 20 pages. I mean 16 really I am not looking for 20, believe me. 17 keep it under ten but I know that some of these issues are novel 18 and you may feel like you need to go a little longer than that 19 and I would rather not have to field a Motion to, you know, get 20 permission to write, but try to keep it limited. 21 overboard. 22 read. I have got plenty to read. I was going to say Don't go I have had plenty to 23 MR. GILLIGAN: Thank you. 24 THE COURT: 25 (Whereupon, at 12:55 p.m., the proceedings were We will stand in recess. 54 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 concluded.) 55 1 CERTIFICATE OF REPORTER 2 3 I, Patty A.
