This is great, as they are providing briefs and other tools to expose the surveillance state. In solving a problem it helps to understand the scope. While I applaud the effort, as an attorney I've found that the Trump era really exposes a big flaw inherent in the U.S. legal system - it needs the parties and their attorneys to act in good faith. When one side is willing to lie and stonewall, in my experiences judges are reticent to sanction and even if they do, the penalties tend to be meager. Even if they sanction to the extent of their power, when the other side is the government with limitless resources, they will fight it to the bitter end, with the end being a captured Supreme Court.
