Klayman Appeals Stay of Leon Ruling Bar

Larry Klayman, chairman of Freedom Watch, requested oral argument from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit after the court granted an administrative stay to the U.S. government of last week's ruling by U.S. District Judge Richard Leon. He had ordered the NSA to stop collecting the call records of attorney J.J. Little and his law firm (see 1511090049). They were two of the five plaintiffs in Klayman v. Obama. "Appellants cannot -- and should not be able to -- rely on the failed argument that it may be burdensome to avoid obeying the Constitution," wrote Klayman in his appeal.
