    We are kings. You can't touch us.
    That's the essence the government's most recent reply brief in the Electronic Frontier Foundation lawsuit against AT&T for its alleged complicity in helping the NSA wiretap sans warrant the emails and phone calls of Americans.
    The judge has just looked at the government's secret arguments to dismiss the case on the grounds it will reveal state secrets, and the EFF has argued that the judge could simply decide the case on the grounds that there's enough information in the public record and the government's own admissions to find that AT&T violated its customers' privacy.
