In Jewel, a group of plaintiffs are seeking a federal injunction against the widespread, warrantless surveillance of communications involving Americans by the National Security Agency (NSA). The case has been litigated for over a decade, most recently with the Ninth Circuit denying relief in a dismissive, one-page opinion. The Jewel plaintiffs are now seeking U.S. Supreme Court intervention to obtain injunctive relief. Today, we filed one of only three amicus briefs in support of the Jewel plaintiffs, which is our Fourth amicus brief in this case.
