Abstract

Since the New York Times first revealed the Bush administration had undertaken a massive warrantless espionage program within the United States, journalists, civil rights organizations, and citizens have filed more than forty lawsuits against the telecommunications service providers (“telecoms”) that allegedly aided the administration in domestic spying. In Hepting v. AT&T Corp., customers sued AT&T alleging the company had unlawfully allowed the government to intercept telephone and Internet communications. Similar lawsuits filed against other telecoms joined Hepting in a civil action (collectively, “the NSA Cases”).
