Barely reported in most of the media, a U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that the Terror Surveillance program to monitor international phone calls to and from suspected terrorists and suspected collaborators in the U.S. can proceed while the program continues through the judicial system.  (Meditate upon that more accurate description versus the shorthand "domestic surveillance" used by the program's opponents, if you will . . . )

The unanimous ruling from a three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals gave little explanation for the decision. In the three-paragraph ruling, judges said that they balanced the likelihood an appeal would succeed, the potential damage to both sides and the public interest.
