BS. The document you link to indicates quite clearly that they had no intention of making it anything less than "top secret" after it was found unconstitutional:

>in response to the unauthorized disclosure of classified information, the government has declassified certain information concerning intelligence collection pursuant to Section 702

>[the government] further provides notice [...] that it has determined it will release to Plaintiff a redacted version of the [FISC] opinion previously withheld [but requests a delay]

It's only because the EFF requested it (after Snowden's disclosures) and fought for it in court that the finding of unconstitutionality will now be made public. Or rather, whatever parts the government decides to let go of.

Yes, all of the FISA rulings are secret by default, but redacting a ruling to remove classified information is not the same as fighting a FOIA request.

drivebyacct2 is hellbanned but I see no reason why this particular comment of his should be censored:

>That distinction would mean more if it didn't literally come on the heals of them explicitly trying to suppress the entire court decision.

Not sure why but it looks like this comment 45 days ago is what did it:

No idea why that merits a hellban if that's the reason why.

Very curious about what the NSA were doing that was found unconstitutional by its own kangaroo court. It must've been pretty bad.

Or are they just waiting for everything in it to become classified?
