"This theory of future injury is too speculative," Justice Samuel Alito said in announcing the 5-4 decision, calling it "hypothetical future harm."

“In sum, respondents’ speculative chain of possibilities does not establish that injury based on potential future surveillance,” the court ruled. “[R]espondents’ self-inflicted injuries are not fairly traceable to the Government’s purported activities under [the FAA] and their subjective fear of surveillance does not give rise to standing.”

so invasion of 4th amendment is not enough without 'proven future harm?'

Remind me again why we must elect a Republican to the WH so s/he can nominate SCOTUS justices?

Conservatives say they'll defend economic liberty, and progs say they'll defend civil liberties, but it's funny how we've ended up with neither.

Nothing but a complete collapse will rid us of these contemptible bastards who destroy our liberties in favor of state power.
