Government Seeks Stay in NSA Wiretap Case

The National Security Agency asked a federal judge to defer ruling on a 7-year-old case challenging an NSA wiretapping program, citing media coverage of the government's surveillance activities.
     A class of phone service customers led by Carolyn Jewel challenged the NSA's Terrorist Surveillance Program, calling it an abuse of executive privilege that spies on law-abiding customers.
     They claimed the NSA's implementation of the Terrorist Surveillance Program, signed into law after the Sept. 11, 2011 terrorist attacks, violates the Constitution and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
